	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A disappointing step backwards for the Wachowskis (...) investing so much attention in creating unique fashions, technology, architecture and design that they’ve blinded themselves to the huge logical gaps in their own story."	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"A sci-fi saga that's convoluted and silly, but also exciting and enthralling."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"'Jupiter Ascending' at least possesses familiar sci-fi genre (...) But anyone hoping for the old 'Matrix' magic to rematerialize (it's been 15 years) is due for more disappointment."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	""The sheer ambition is impossible to ignore, and the sense of fun is infectious: you may fear for your sanity during ‘Jupiter Ascending’, but you’ll come out smiling. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Striving for a jaw-dropping sci-fi spectacle (...) [the Wachowskis] end up with something painfully silly and overblown, burying a solid cast in a lot of makeup, costumes and needlessly convoluted plotting."	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The script (...) is a dud. The glory days of 'The Matrix' seem light years away as the Wachowskis’ work grows ever more juvenile. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	It's all very chaotic and entertaining, like a bizarre cult sci-fi TV show that somehow survived a threat of mid-season cancellation (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"An instant candidate for the so-bad-it’s-sort-of-great hall of fame, 'Jupiter Ascending' is totally bonkers (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"The film (...) lacks a unifying 'big idea', and tries to make up for it with reams of superficial plot complexity (...) Cinema-goers desperately need a fresh, unusual and franchise-free blockbuster (...) but 'Jupiter Ascending' isn’t it. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
