I watched the 5th Element for the visuals I could expect from the trailer. I later learned that famed artist and co-founder of Heavy Metal Magazine, Moebius, was a consultant for that film.

So I watched the trailer to see if there were any parallels or resemblances. I didn't see much, but the trailer does tease with great visuals. I'd watch the film just to see if there are any new or interesting concepts. That's kind of where I go, even if the plot and acting don't work for me.

I watch Jupiter Ascending even after reading reviews that panned it. Yes, it had it's problems, but like the 5th Element, there were some genuinely funny scenes. I suspect Besson has a few of those, too.

Thanks for your review and bringing it here. Now I'm curious to see it just to see if your review does it justice. But I'll be waiting to stream it for cheap when that time comes.
