Jupiter Ascending (2014) Trailer: Wachowskis' New Sc-Fi Addition

Jupiter Ascending Trailer with Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis


IMDB.com explains the story of ‘Jupiter Ascending’ as such:
"In a universe where humans are near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, a young destitute human woman is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because her very existence threatens to end the Queen's reign."
I am not overly enthusiastic about this premise, or rather the manner in which the trailer put the story out. What put me off was that massive spotlight enabling people to travel upwards. It resembled the transportation beam I saw in ‘This is the End’ which allowed Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel to enter Heaven.
Then there was that introduction which initially painted Channing Tatum’s character as the ultimate hunting machine. A few seconds later and he’s fawning over Mila Kunis. It seems that my reservations are created by the little components of the film instead of the actual plot, which can actually be illustrated in a better manner. Incorporating a romantic aspect into the film with Tatum and Kunis makes the whole thing icky.
