I'd say it was above average, as an action movie it ticks all the boxes but I didn't think it was engaging enough as a sci-fi movie. The plot seemed merely a device to enable the characters to do the action sequences they wanted to show.
If you compare it to other recent Sci-Fi action films like Guardians of the Galaxy then I'd say it doesn't fare very favourably . It's a visual spectacle that's for sure. I certainly wouldn't say it was bad, I just felt unmoved and unengaged by the story. I went into it thinking that the mixed reviews were maybe down to a misunderstanding or dislike crazy space operas but it must be because it is inherently weak somewhere.
There seemed to be a crap load of characters, non of which I particularly cared about in any way and I found Mila Kunis to just be a bit annoying.
I also saw Ex Machina this week too and if I was to say see one I'd say see Jupiter Ascending if you want a Sci-Fi film to see , Ex Machina was hugely flawed.
