Mila Kunis plays Jupiter Jones, a house cleaner who was brought into the world under distressing circumstances. Once she gets to an appointment her situation becomes dangerous as the power hungry son of a specialized set of human hybrids comes to kill her. She travels the universe with a genetically engineered warrior in an effort to stop the family and the reign of the homicidal tyrant chasing her.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was a science fiction thriller that was fun to watch but not really plotted out and described well. The movie begins with a robbery, murder and toilet cleanings. Then the movie progresses to the meeting between three siblings who are intent on keeping with tradition and living life in the comfort they have grown accustomed to for thousands of years. Jupiter has no idea why she is special and her character flails through the entire movie, accepting life on other worlds and finally sticking up for herself as the VERY end of the movie
Caine (played by Channing Tatum) plays a half human, half wolf hybrid with wings. He was a member of the royal army but lost his wings due to bad behavior. He consistently comes to Jupiter's rescue and at about the third rescue it does seem a little tedious. If she is going to go through life trusting another alien race she won't life long, period.
One thing I didn't like about this movie is they explained where humans came from, but the didn't explain much about where the human-aliens got to be where they were. The technology wasn't explained or described, and while the hybrid animal-humans were interesting I didn't ever understand why they were created. Some of them seemed like experiments gone wrong, for example the elephant-man, literally a man with a small elephant trunk and elephant ears. Others just seemed like horror movie creatures.
I wanted a little bit more in the story, I wanted more story, more history and more background. However, if you are looking to go to a movie that will take you mind off of the troubles in your life I say go for it. It's not a bad movie, and I enjoyed spending the 2+ hours watching it.
