Jupiter Ascending

Jupiter Ascending is a science fiction action film that stars Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth. It centers with Jupiter Jones (Kunis) who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other peopleâ€™s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all alongâ€”her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos. The following is the plot summary of the movie from Wikipedia.org: Earth's residents are unaware that life on Earth and countless other planets have been seeded[13] by families of alien royalty[14] for the purpose of "harvesting" the resulting organisms at a "Darwinian state of perfection" to produce a type of youth serum for the elites on still other planets.[15] After the death of the matriarch of the House of Abrasax, the most powerful of the alien dynasties,[9] her children, Balem (Eddie Redmayne), Kalique (Tuppence Middleton), and Titus (Douglas Booth), quarrel over the inheritance, with Balem inheriting an enormous production facility on Jupiter and Titus declaring his intention to dismantle the youth serum trade, of which Earth is the next intended source. Protagonist Jupiter Jones narrates that her father, Maximilian Jones (James D'Arcy), met her mother, Aleksa (Maria Doyle Kennedy), in Saint Petersburg. After Maximilian is killed in a robbery, Aleksa names their daughter Jupiter, after his dying wish, and they move to Chicago to live with Aleksa's family. Many years later, Jupiter (Mila Kunis) works with Aleksa and her Aunt Nino (Frog Stone) and cleans the homes of wealthy people. To buy a telescope, Jupiter agrees to sell her eggs with the help of her cousin Vladie (Kick Gurry), under the name of her friend Katharine Dunlevy (Vanessa Kirby). At Katharine's house, Jupiter and Katharine are attacked by extraterrestrial Keepers; when Jupiter photographs them, they erase her memory of the incident. During the egg donation procedure, the doctors and nurses are identified as Balem's agents, sent to kill her, and she is saved by Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-soldier sent by Titus. Stinger Apini (Sean Bean), an old comrade of Caine's, agrees to help Jupiter, but a group of hunters take her to Kalique's palace on a distant planet, where Kalique explains that Jupiter is a genetically identical reincarnation of the dead matriarch, and therefore the Earth's rightful owner. Supported by Captain Diomika Tsing (Nikki Amuka-Bird) of the Aegis (an intergalactic police force), Caine retrieves her from Kalique, and brings her to the planet Ores (the intergalactic capital city) to claim her inheritance. On the way back to Earth, Titus detains Jupiter and Caine. He reveals his plan to marry and then kill Jupiter and claim Earth before throwing Caine into the void, but Caine survives and saves Jupiter at the altar. Jupiter asks to return home, but her family has been taken hostage by Balem. In his citadel in the Great Red Spot, Balem demands Earth in exchange for Jupiter's family. Realizing that Balem can "harvest" Earth only if she signs it over, Jupiter refuses. Balem tries to kill Jupiter; but she defeats him in a fight. She escapes and is rescued by Caine, Stinger, and Tsing. Jupiter's family is returned home with no memory of her disappearance, while Jupiter secretly retains ownership of the Earth. Her family buys her the telescope she wanted and Caine is granted a pair of wings that were earlier removed from his body. The movie was directed by Lana Wachowski and Andrew Paul "Andy" Wachowski (The Wachowski), director of the film Cloud Atlas, Speed Racer and The Matrix film series.
