Movie Reviews
As expected, the opinions of viewers about the movie "Climbing Jupiter" were divided. Someone went to the cinema, hoping to see something like “The Matrix” or “Cloud Atlas”, and was disappointed, believing that he was shown a typical American blockbuster, beautifully shot, but empty. Someone was delighted with exotic scenery, interplanetary spacecraft, overcoming interstellar portals, incredible technology. But there are spectators who, behind the external surroundings of the film, saw an alternative version of the appearance and development of life on planet Earth.
Plot of the film
The main character of the tape is Jupiter Jones. This unusual name for her was invented by her father, who taught astrophysics at the University of St. Petersburg, and died at the hands of robbers, trying to save his telescope. Mother gave birth to her in the middle of the Atlantic on a ship sailing to America. A girl born under the sign of Leo, according to her aunt, has a great future. But Jupiter is not up to astrology. Together with her mother and aunt, she gets up at 4:45 every morning and washes toilets and bathrooms in rich houses all day. She hates her life and does not know that the lords of the planets are interested in her.
Serafi Abrasax was killed, after her death at the house of Abrasax, who heads the intergalactic empire, there are three heirs left - these are her children: the eldest son Balem, daughter Kalik and the youngest son Titus. Planet Earth is part of Balem’s legacy and costs more than all Titus’s possessions. Upon learning of the existence of mother recursion, each of the children begins his own game: Balem orders her to be killed, while Kalik and Titus have their own plans for her. What is so simple girl from Chicago so interested in the rulers?
And inexplicable events begin to occur around Jupiter: she shoots on her cell phone how the aliens examine her friend, then the lycantant rescues her from death. Chases, a city destroyed and rebuilt instantly, bees circling above it - and that’s not all. And the most interesting - they turn to her: "Your Majesty."
Once in the palace of Kalik, Jupiter learns that she is the reincarnation of Serafi Abrasax, so you just have to claim the title, as the Earth will again belong to her. But the rulers of the universe have their own games, and the girl could have died if, as always, the former legionary Kane had not come to her aid. In the end, Jupiter returned to Earth, which now became its planet, and found true love.
