Will this be a "Jupiter Ascending" or a "Avatar"?


This could be an epic movie or a dud. What are your thoughts?

reply

This will be a dud. Spider-Man, Planet of the Apes and Pirates should still be pretty strong when this releases. Then you have Alien on the otherside of the sandwich.

Its a good thing then Star Wars is releasing in the fall and not summer. Its going to be a crowded summer for movies.

They both were terrible movies but VATCOATP had better visuals.

Its a dud all right, basically a remake of the 5th element.

reply

The first 2/3rds of the movie is a remake of The 5th Element, the last 1/3rd (basically the third act/climax of the movie( is a remake of Avatar.

reply

Neither. It won't be terrible but it wont be amazing either.

reply

Neither one of Jupiter Ascending and Avatar can seriously be described as "amazing".

I think no one of them.

I don't think that Besson si really into sf because of the esoteric potential nor the very epic part.
He is into that for awesomeness.
Spaceships, Aliens, worlds, he likes it because it's genuily fun.

Remember the 5th element, and the fact that Besson describes it as a Mr ans Ms Smith in space.

All of his screenplay are usually quite simple and straight to the point.
If you read Ambassador of the Shadows, the Valerian adventure Besson took to write this movie, it's a basic hostage/missing story.

Valerian and Laureline have to carry an earth ambassador to Point Central (Alpha in the movie), for a kind of United Nation of Universe meeting, and he is taken by the bas guys. So Valerian and Laureline to accross the whole station species and would to find him back. Having a lot of struggles on their way.

That's all.

For the movie it looks like he has develloped it a bit for a two hours movie, but he told that the all story feet in 48 hours.

pft, Jupiter Ascending was very entertaining and not a complete dud.

reply

Nah, it was pretty much a dud

"Think of it. 90% of the population united against a common enemy. We'll be unstoppable!"

reply

Jupiter Ascending is the equivalent of Mila Kunis cleaning a toilet bowl.

reply

haha so true

reply

Don't be silly.

Cleaning toilets is honest and vital work that makes the world a slightly better place, while "Jupiter Ascending" is a huge boring waste of resources!

reply

Im tired of star wars and star trek I want sometime different Im a fan of the books of Valerian I have the collection Im going to see it

reply

I'm hoping it's a "Jupiter Ascending"-"Men in Black"-"Guardians of the Galaxy" mix.

Why the hell would you hope for that? It's like a mixture of paint thinner, tripe and Kobe prime rib.

reply

The way movies are made today, that seems the best description.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

reply

I think it´ll be crazier and campier 5th element...I don´t think it´ll reach anywhere near it but in the same league definitely

reply

The Fifth Element was great but I don't see this movie making that much money.

reply

Me neither...it´s too "out there" for American imo
It will do better in Europe (me :D) an Asia if anything
It looks great though...I love French directors
