25. Jupiter Ascending

There's a moral to this story that's been building slowly over the last twenty five examples. Sci-fi movies are a bad bet. I don't say that because I want studios to stop making them. In fact, it's the opposite. I want them to keep making sci-fi movies even when they suck. I'll take ten bad sci fi movies to get one good one. It's like gambling except with someone else's millions of dollars and time.

'Jupiter Ascending' is a really fun and well made sci-fi movie, but it also features a roller-blading Channing Tatum with dog ears. That doesn't make for a compelling poster for some people. For me it had me lining up on day one. Mila Kunis is also great in it, so I'd say go rent it, but my good review didn't prevent it from losing over one hundred million dollars.
