   The rebirth of the deceased on another planet with the same gene map evokes reincarnation in itself. We can say that the rebirth of a single soul in different bodies is a process that continues until soul evolution is complete. The completion of soul evolution does not mean that the previous life will continue where it left off in the next life, but it does not mean that different lives with a single soul will never intersect with each other.

   This kind of scenario makes a sci-fi movie a treat to watch. Because reincarnation in itself would attract attention. The fact that all the rights belonging to the life that has ended are transferred to the newborn person with the same genes may take the story away from the idea of reincarnation, but if you are interested in reincarnation or astral body travel, you will definitely make the connection.

   When we think of the world as a field and the people who live in it as the crops that grow on the field, we can use the analogy of harvest for every death. In a fiction where everyone who comes to harvest time loses their life and everyone who is born symbolizes the planting of a new crop in the field, those who lose their lives at an early age or as soon as they are born will cause the harvest time to be questioned. They can be likened to faulty crops or faulty genes.

   All these are the reflections of the questions that arise after watching the movie Jupiter Ascending, which I think is flawless, and the script that creates a memorable effect. I can't say that the script of the movie is ordinary, the pieces fall perfectly into place in the interconnected story. For human beings who think that they are alone in the universe, having to face the truth seems to start with the visit of an extraterrestrial being to Earth. The chaotic environment this will create is almost certain to be unpredictable.

   It is not only people born with the same gene maps (or whatever they are called elsewhere) that bind planets together. Why shouldn't the colonial system that exists between countries also exist between planets? Each group, led by the nobility, competes and fights with each other to define its own fields and the lives to be harvested. Some planets are elite, others are fields to be harvested. All these are details that make the already excellent script more intriguing, while making it the pinnacle of the sci-fi genre.

   I think I got too caught up in the story of the movie and even though the viewing is over, I can't get out of it. I am almost sure that one of the biggest reasons for this is my curiosity about reincarnation. In fact, reincarnation is almost never dealt with in the film except in the introduction, but it plays a very influential role in the entire film, from the rivalry between the planets to the family behavior of the nobles.

   The interconnections between the planets, the behavior of each race on its own planet, and the interplanetary rivalry are all handled without the knowledge of all the people in the world except a few. So the world is not invaded in any way or people are not abducted by aliens. So the world doesn't need to fight anyone. Such a small but distinctive detail adds a special beauty to the movie.

   I can say that all the characters in the movie add the most value they can to the movie and they do an excellent job in terms of acting. The visual effects and music are spectacular. The action scenes, which I think were added in doses, increase the impact of the story. My favorite actor was Channing Tatum who plays Caine's character. I can say that he ended the movie the way he started it. Apart from the scenes and the actors in the movie, I really liked the script. I have already said that I am still under the influence of the movie and I would like to emphasize it by saying it one more time.

   If you consider yourself a sci-fi genre lover, you should definitely watch Jupiter Ascending. In fact, if you have already seen it and it's been a long time, watch it again.

2. ›My thoughts on Jupiter's ascending@trumpman1700d

   So, I started watching this scifi movie on Netflix this morning while the baby was sleeping.

   The acting and casting was meh, the story seemed interesting but it felt like the movie was trying to shove up too many things in too little time and not in a way that keeps the viewer interest.

   Too many characters, too many sub-stories to follow, too many places etc etc.

   About halfway through I was just too confused and too bored to watch the rest, I said f*** it and moved one with my life.

   Judging from the shitty reviews and rating the movie has on IMDb I was not the only to have done so.

   A boring shitty film. Stay away!

3. ›Insomniac Film Festival #96: Jupiter Ascending@rvgenaille3134d

   IMDb.com’s log line for Jupiter Ascending reads:

   A young woman discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactic nobility and must fight to protect the inhabitants of Earth from an ancient and destructive industry.

   So. Yeah. That’s the best I can do for a synopsis of the movie. Mila Kunis is the title character, Jupiter, and Channing Tatum was Caine Wise, a human/dog hybrid who rescues her a lot while wearing flying roller blades. Eddie Redmayne is the main bad guy and the other two secondary baddies were played by people I don’t remember.

   This one is bad but, I have to say, it is entertaining. It’s one of those “it’s-so-bad-it’s-good,” you have to see it to believe it, what the hell were the Wachowskis thinking but I can’t look away flicks.

   Sean Bean’s in it. He hangs out with bees.

   The Good...

   

   Redmayne goes all in and goes over the top with his performance.

   This is ridiculous and unintentionally hilarious.

   The Not So Good...

   It’s also bloated and, while all the money is on the screen, it’s a bloated cgi-heavy mess that really made very little sense whatsoever.

   Who thought Tatum with as a half man/ half dog was a good idea?

   It’s bad but it’s entertainingly bad.
