For everyone saying they've never seen/heard of this movie, just know: there is so much insane stuff going on that this video could easily be tripled in length. This doesn't even touch on Jupiter's father being killed by the KGB, the giant lizard men, Caine's 'blacking out and killing royals by instinct' backstory, the third space sibling, or all the weird Oedipus complex vibes from the siblings.
@@dropkgirl7157 Fair point. And there's definitely at least an implication that it started back with the actual mother, at least in the case of Eddie Redmayne's character.
You forgot the part how she is not actually the mother of these siblings but just so happens to have, by pure coincidence, the DNA of their mother. And the in-movie reasoning is that if you take just enough planets and wait for just enough aeons, eventually any possible DNA-code will show up multiple times. And whatever random person just so happens to have the correct DNA by virtue of pure chance, that person is legally the ruler of Earth.
i remember the dialogue where they explain they also have the ability to change genetics and create clones but they dont because its dangerous apparently
If they were just looking for one gene, maybe. Or maybe like a few key ones. Maybe even a few dozen. Okay. But EVERY SINGLE GENE? The odds against that are beyond astronomical. Even with billions of people there still isn't a reasonable chance of it happening. There still is barely a snowball's chance in hell at best.
4:42 in the article shown at the end of the video, mila kunis said she knew Jupiter Ascending would flop before they started filming. I just went and read the article, and she says she knew it would flop _because the budget was cut at the last minute._ mila, I’m sorry but the budget wasn’t the problem - no amount of money was gonna save this script / premise from itself! haha
Agreed. They still had a budget for gorgeous costumes and tons of CGI in J.A. But if your movie has a bland main protagonist who seems to be sleepwalking through the story with a disinterested expression (same problem the Twilight movies have) and the script can be pulled apart by a few logical questions, the CGI budget wasnt the issue...
Yeah, that would have just been polishing a turd. Like shit, some of the best Classic Who episodes have a budget of whatever was left in the BBC couch cushions by Jimmy Savile's latest victims. The effects can be horrid and it doesn't matter if the plot is good.
It has a hilarious Honest Trailer that you may be remembering... possibly my favorite! There's a lengthy plot summary where there's a warning at the bottom saying "Actual Plot of the Movie" or something which cracks me up because the plot is just so insane it makes fun of itself.
It was definitely meant to be one of those “so dumb it’s cute” quotes you see in a lot of romance movies, but just turned out to be dumb and desperate sounding lmao
When I watched this movie, I literally had no idea what was going on... the entire time. This pitch meeting exhibits the absurdity of this movie very well lol
Hearing it described like this, I'm getting those familiar "This started as someone's fanfiction" vibes. Could be an original story, but that general level of narrative ability... where it's really just "This would be cool, so it happens. And that would be cool, so it happens too." Little trace of any kind of red thread or cause-and-effect chains precipitating events, so much as just... a bunch of random stuff all thrown at the viewer until, at some point, it ends. A child's story, of sorts. Not bad, necessarily, but... incongruous.
I believe there is nothing more damning to be said about Jupiter Ascending than the fact that Honest Trailers simply narrated the entire plot of the movie and called it a day.
"Teacher says every time a bell rings, a weird dog-man gets his wings back because he had them for unexplained reasons and lost them for other unexplained reasons"
Yeah, this was crazy funny. Also the Queen's beard made of bees. I got more laughs out loud out of this one than any other one, and I've seen most of the pitch meetings
I couldn’t believe this movie WASN’T trying to cram the first three books of an eight part series into one film. Was baffled to find out it was original
@@Templar462 Consider the overall story; a "normal" person in modern day discovers that humanity is really just a small cog in a galaxy (or greater) spanning empire that is using those lives as a commodity for the rulers own benefit, and this normal person happens to hold a status that can overturn that circumstance to save humanity as a whole.... IMO, that's a great premise for a movie or a series of books. I know I've read worse ones. In terms of the execution, when I first watched the movies I chose to ignore those details, but the critique is pretty damn close to spot on. If things had been fleshed out; film 1 the girl finds out about the galactic empire and that she holds a special rank in that empire that she was not aware. Film 2; after discovering the size and scope of the empire, the protagonist tries to stake her claim over the planet she wants to save, but has to deal with the "royal" feud in order to maintain that claim, beating the 2 of 3 weakest siblings. Film 3; Starts with battling the final sibling, then the protagonist gathers forces in order to relinquish the "empires" control over the planet or to destabilize that empire in such a way that it cannot present a threat to the earth for the foreseeable future. Yes, it would hit the brakes on most of the action, but there are many books where the anticipation of the conflict takes up more space than the actual conflicts.
My favorite fan theory is that this was planned as a triolgy, each part focussing on one sibling, but the studio said "No way, were shelling out that much money, make it one movie first and we weill see..." It explains all the loos threads and repititions.
Perhaps because 1) Queen Elizabeth was of the "female" human phenotype. Beards are typically s characteristic of the male human phenotype. And jumbling up phenotypes is TIGHT. And funny. 2) Queen Elizabeth is dead. So a beard of bees--rather than, say, globs of maggots consuming the decaying flesh of the former Sovereign of 12 countries--is an amusing twist.

@@JacekPaszkoAMV What part of "they use a sanitary pad to stop Channing Tatum from bleeding but use the sticky side of it instead of the absorbent side" don't you understand?

Great pitch meeting! Another corollary issue with the ending is that, in addition to other planets still being harvested, when Jupiter eventually dies (from old age or otherwise) ownership of Earth will transfer to someone else who might then harvest everyone. Perhaps she could write some kind of space will of her own to leave the planet to another Earthling, but there is no indication that she has done so or even intends to
Well, she's not very bright. I mean, at the end of the movie she's queen of the whole planet and happily cleaning toilets. She really doesn't have good decision-making skills.
Ah yes, the Wachowskis' Rebel Moon. But it's way more fun in a "so bad it's good" way. The line about the bees recognizing all royalty is still one of the most funny unintentional humor I've heard on screen
Especially since it has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It's just a weird idea the Wachowskis came up with, and for some reason they were allowed to put it in their movie.
@@ultimateowlie2283 ... who didn't put any effort into his part, knowing it was what Jupiter was scrubbing out of those toilets. Nearly killed Eddie's career.
“Didn’t you say he was part dog?” “Yep! And now he’s got his wings back” Amazing how I’ve watched hundreds of these and you’ve still got it, whatever it is
It sucks that the Wachowskis haven’t done anything that lives up to the original Matrix in terms of how grounded, spectacular and revolutionary it was. I guess the best thing they’ve done since the original Matrix was producing and writing the screenplay for V for Vendetta and I’ve heard that Sense8, the show they made on Netflix, is also good. But their track record overall has been very polarizing.
Seems like the potential was there. Maybe they should have stopped going with experimental stuff and focused on what worked in Bound and The Matrix (though perhaps not in the same movie).
@@carter_lovejoy Ehhh, it's less polarizing and more "those ladies are freaky, and do cool, weird shit." Not a huge fan of how the Matrix trilogy ended, but it was never BAD. Sense8 is weird but an emotional firehose. Even Speed Racer has been getting a larger critical re-evaluation for doing stuff that is honestly amazing if you just stop EXPECTING it to be a different kind of movie. And I'll defend Matrix Resurrections til the day I die. Cloud Atlas is supposed to even be pretty solid if you can get passed the, ya know... weird race make up stuff.
@@carter_lovejoyThe problem with the Wachowskis is they're more interested in subversion of cinema tropes then logically consistent story structure. All of their projects suffer from this problem with their "better" stories mostly grabbing the story structure from other sources. The first Matrix is fundamentally Alice in Wonderland (which the Wachowskis make obvious via the Alice in Wonderland references in the movie). The further they went away from an existing story structure in their projects the worse they got.
@@hartthorn "Ladies"? LOL Oh yeah, I forgot. U.S. leftists know they must pretend to believe whatever the clique of media owners shove down their throat. Otherwise you are targeted at work. I guess the cowardice carries over to the internet too. Carry on.
I remember loving it when I saw it in theatres, but don't remember anything that happened in it apart from the whole harvesting humans for eternal youth thing. Watching this pitch meeting makes me wonder why tf I loved it 😂
I have seen this movie and could not have told you any of the plot, other than i remember space was involved. This pitch meeting, besides being very funny, is a much better use of your time than trying to watch the original.
I had purged this movie from my memory. When I saw the thumbnail I said "ohh shiiiiit" and I flashed back to cringing in agony for an hour and a half when I had watched it
This is without question the most perplexed I have been after a pitch meeting. Even Moonfall was less stupid by the looks of things. Interesting that films named after celestial bodies either falling or rising are completely mad.
And I remember the trailer being somehow exiting so I really looked forward to it. And then the movie reviews were so bad, so overwhelming bad, that I decided not to watch it. I think this was the right decision.
Love your videos! Please do a pitch meeting for Southland Tales!!! It'll be super easy! Barely an inconvenience. I am going to comment this for as long as you make these, until you make it. I will never give up. This is my seventy-seventh attempt.
My daughter spent much of her early childhood writing a movie script involving evil bears and fairies and vampires and stuff. (A "trailer" is at my home page.) Imagine if she somehow later became a famous writer/director with enough power she could dust off that script she finished before she turned 10 and have a studio dump 100 million dollars into it. That's basically Jupiter Ascending for the Wachowski siblings.
My favorite part of the movie was actually Jupiter Descending. The visual of when they first enter Jupiter's atmosphere was pretty amazing for its time. Also her wedding dress was beautiful.
It was written as a trilogy by the Wachowski siblings. The studio made them compress it down into 1 movie. That 1 movie was like 2 hours and 40 minutes long, and the studio then made them cut 40 minutes. It could never succeed under those conditions.
YES! I was wondering if anyone besides me recognized the name Jupiter Jones! Also, it should be noted that Jupiter has been an exclusively male name for at least a few thousand years. The "-piter" part of the name literally means "father".
And then, "...Aww, c'mon dad!? Even if I get the Wachowski Brothers??" "Okay, but only if you get the Wachowski Brothers..." **12 months later** "I got the Wachowski Sisters!" **Producer Guy stares...** **Pitch Guy stares...** **Producer Guy stares...** **Pitch Guy stares...** "...ohh, okay. FINE!!"
The scene with a window looing at jupiter is super beautiful. I would pay to have that slow movie of Jupiter running in a picture frame. Incredible amount of money was spent on this film.
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie and getting so hyped up that I convinced 2 of my friends to go and watch it...the only time I had literally fallen asleep in the cinema.
@@kopf-heldtotalneuro-logisc8479 no problem, we just watched Monkey Man together, so we like shitty movies. I just didn't expect Jupiter ascending to be so boring.
I literally saw this fing movie in the theatre, and it still feels like a fever dream. But I distinctly remember getting to the moment with the bees, listening in disbelief as Sean Bean said bees recognize royalty, and getting up to walk out. I only stayed cuz the friends I was with asked me to 😆
This movie is a golden glittering gift. It's incredible. It's wild. It's everything I wanted as a 13 year old girl in a movie. I would rather something try for an extreme, fun, over the top adventure than another bland remake.
Yea I liked it too. And some of the scenes where its like,"that couldn't happen, that's too crazy" ... we're actually a social commentary on the fact that people have no clue what's going on.
"I thought he was part dog?!?" "YEP and now he's got his *wings* back!" God! when you put it like that xD I love this movie but yeah it was freaking goofy.
A movie so inept that it couldn't even kill off Sean Bean's character.
One does not simply allow Sean Bean to live.
No no, look at his eyes, he's dead inside.
Sean Bean said he planned to stop doing roles where he died after Game of Thrones. Apparently he thought it was becoming too predictable.
The bee's kill him off-screen.
Underrated comment
Still love the irony that in Jupiter ASCENDING she just spends the whole movie literally and figuratively falling.
Watching the movie I commented that if she fell one more time we'd have to rename her Lois Lane.
She spends so much time getting kidnapped in her own movie that Princess Peach tells her to give it a rest.
movie best viewed while upside down.
And ends up in the same exact place where she started.
You have to watch it upside down
The bee on the computer monitor in the background. Producer guy is royalty.
Only something bee-rosaurusrex would notice
I don't think that's a bee, I think it's the brand logo or something. It's on the monitor in multiple videos.

New Canon. The guy playing the producer gets better every time.
"Straight up killed me"
.... Those are words.
New pitch meetings for old movies are tight
Yes. I'm still waiting for "In the name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale".
Your breakdown of the movie was hilarious and spot-on. The lime of events in this plot really doesn’t add up.
"Those sure are some words!"
Never before have I found a way to perfectly explain how I feel whenever I hear a character drop fictional lore
Great pitch meeting!
Another corollary issue with the ending is that, in addition to other planets still being harvested, when Jupiter eventually dies (from old age or otherwise) ownership of Earth will transfer to someone else who might then harvest everyone. Perhaps she could write some kind of space will of her own to leave the planet to another Earthling, but there is no indication that she has done so or even intends to
Well, she's not very bright. I mean, at the end of the movie she's queen of the whole planet and happily cleaning toilets. She really doesn't have good decision-making skills.
“I said I have no further questions!” 😂🤣😂
Ah yes, the Wachowskis' Rebel Moon. But it's way more fun in a "so bad it's good" way.
The line about the bees recognizing all royalty is still one of the most funny unintentional humor I've heard on screen
Rebel Moon except made by people with talent.
rebel moon without the wheat.
Especially since it has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It's just a weird idea the Wachowskis came up with, and for some reason they were allowed to put it in their movie.
Rebel moon without the slow mo, wheat and much better visuals
@@AchedSphinx Actually they had the wheat in one scene. Or might have been corn. There was a big field of produce that's for sure.
3:34 "I CREATE LIFE...!" (switches from emotive shouting to emotive devoicing) "... And I destroy it."
He's just a massive melodramatic dork.
By an Academy Award nominee 😆
👏
@@ultimateowlie2283 ... who didn't put any effort into his part, knowing it was what Jupiter was scrubbing out of those toilets. Nearly killed Eddie's career.

“Didn’t you say he was part dog?”
“Yep! And now he’s got his wings back”
Amazing how I’ve watched hundreds of these and you’ve still got it, whatever it is
With a dog-man in there, I feel like there was a missed opportunity for a "bow-wow-wow-wow... wow" joke.
(Seriously though, great job as always!)
That would be a truly awesome joke. 👍😎
He's gonna be pissed he didn't do this.
Omg that would have been such a cute joke!!
@@gnocchidokey More than just an inconvenience feeling for him for sure
hahaha, good point.
I love it when you guys just make pitch meetings about movies made years ago.
He just had a kid and is using banked Pitch Meetings. Give him a break.
@@F-sj7cu I don't think they meant it sarcastically. A lot of fans really like it when some random unexpected movie pops up.
Have you ever done one for labrynth, the dark crystal or the princess bride ?
“Making an original movie with the directors of The Matrix is tight!”
“No it’s not.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
It sucks that the Wachowskis haven’t done anything that lives up to the original Matrix in terms of how grounded, spectacular and revolutionary it was. I guess the best thing they’ve done since the original Matrix was producing and writing the screenplay for V for Vendetta and I’ve heard that Sense8, the show they made on Netflix, is also good. But their track record overall has been very polarizing.
Seems like the potential was there. Maybe they should have stopped going with experimental stuff and focused on what worked in Bound and The Matrix (though perhaps not in the same movie).
@@carter_lovejoy Ehhh, it's less polarizing and more "those ladies are freaky, and do cool, weird shit."
Not a huge fan of how the Matrix trilogy ended, but it was never BAD. Sense8 is weird but an emotional firehose. Even Speed Racer has been getting a larger critical re-evaluation for doing stuff that is honestly amazing if you just stop EXPECTING it to be a different kind of movie.
And I'll defend Matrix Resurrections til the day I die.
Cloud Atlas is supposed to even be pretty solid if you can get passed the, ya know... weird race make up stuff.
@@carter_lovejoyThe problem with the Wachowskis is they're more interested in subversion of cinema tropes then logically consistent story structure. All of their projects suffer from this problem with their "better" stories mostly grabbing the story structure from other sources. The first Matrix is fundamentally Alice in Wonderland (which the Wachowskis make obvious via the Alice in Wonderland references in the movie).
The further they went away from an existing story structure in their projects the worse they got.
@@hartthorn "Ladies"? LOL Oh yeah, I forgot. U.S. leftists know they must pretend to believe whatever the clique of media owners shove down their throat. Otherwise you are targeted at work. I guess the cowardice carries over to the internet too. Carry on.
Pitch meeting is the best channel ever
Honest Trailers is right up there...
I remember loving it when I saw it in theatres, but don't remember anything that happened in it apart from the whole harvesting humans for eternal youth thing. Watching this pitch meeting makes me wonder why tf I loved it 😂
I have seen this movie and could not have told you any of the plot, other than i remember space was involved. This pitch meeting, besides being very funny, is a much better use of your time than trying to watch the original.
When this thumbnail popped up, I left a meeting early just so I could watch this to get some confirmation that this movie was absolutely insane.
I had purged this movie from my memory. When I saw the thumbnail I said "ohh shiiiiit" and I flashed back to cringing in agony for an hour and a half when I had watched it
You mean insanely bad, right?
This is without question the most perplexed I have been after a pitch meeting. Even Moonfall was less stupid by the looks of things. Interesting that films named after celestial bodies either falling or rising are completely mad.
And I remember the trailer being somehow exiting so I really looked forward to it. And then the movie reviews were so bad, so overwhelming bad, that I decided not to watch it. I think this was the right decision.
@EntropyKC it's actually a good movie. Written by and directed by the same people as the Matrix.
This has made my week. I have wanted to see a pitch meeting for this for years. Thank you ❤
Producer Guy’s face at 1:46 when he said “You off your meds again?” had me rolling.
"Hey, shut up Dad"
🤣
1:05 "I said I got it."
You do, sir.
You do indeed got it.
Love your videos! Please do a pitch meeting for Southland Tales!!! It'll be super easy! Barely an inconvenience. I am going to comment this for as long as you make these, until you make it. I will never give up. This is my seventy-seventh attempt.
it's not big enough.
Oh my goodness, I forgot about this one. I remember wondering how a life of cleaning toilets prepares you for parkour on a crumbling space station.
That's what you get for never cleaning your toilet.
@@stevekirkpatrick1612 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, shut up lol😊
"Becuzz!"
Because, as any toilet cleaner will tell you, you are gonna go through a lot of shit!
Yes! I always wanted this movie to be pitched, and you haven't let me down!
Happy Jupiter's Day I'm watching the movie right now on UA-cam Blessings and HUGS! I was born on Thursday Blessings and HUGS! 👑💜
My daughter spent much of her early childhood writing a movie script involving evil bears and fairies and vampires and stuff. (A "trailer" is at my home page.) Imagine if she somehow later became a famous writer/director with enough power she could dust off that script she finished before she turned 10 and have a studio dump 100 million dollars into it.
That's basically Jupiter Ascending for the Wachowski siblings.
When is your daughter going to start a YT channel?
My favorite part of the movie was actually Jupiter Descending. The visual of when they first enter Jupiter's atmosphere was pretty amazing for its time. Also her wedding dress was beautiful.
Yeah say what you will, those space effects were good. The base in the hole on Jupiter was TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT!
It was written as a trilogy by the Wachowski siblings. The studio made them compress it down into 1 movie. That 1 movie was like 2 hours and 40 minutes long, and the studio then made them cut 40 minutes. It could never succeed under those conditions.
it was also a very weird bad plot. even from what they showed us.
Yes. What Jupiter Ascending really needed to suceed was more Jupiter Ascending...
1:46 Good job Ryan, you managed to make me snort water up my nose from laughter. Haven't done that in a long time.
"those are more words!". Gotta love the enthusiasm.😂
Love the 'i dont believe you' phrase from the face off pitch meeting^^ Glad it got another chance to shine
FINALLY! I have been waiting for this for YEARS!
Naming your lead character after one of Alfred Hitchcock's Three Investigators is tight.
The movie would have been ten times better with the original Jupiter Jones as the lead tbh. Wouldn't even have hurt the plot, as there is no plot.
YES! I was wondering if anyone besides me recognized the name Jupiter Jones! Also, it should be noted that Jupiter has been an exclusively male name for at least a few thousand years. The "-piter" part of the name literally means "father".
They should’ve named her Bob Andrews or Pete Crenshaw. Missed opportunity.
I might actually have to watch this movie 🍿 sometime.
My favorite part was
"Are you off your meds again?"
"Hey shut up dad!"
New pitch meeting lore dropped
An instant classic!
I hadn't even noticed "dad" hahaha
This is the first time I could see Producer Guy at the end just saying “No. No, we’re not doing this one. “
You're giving PG waaayyy too much credit. Errr, I mean Producer DAD. 😂
And then, "...Aww, c'mon dad!? Even if I get the Wachowski Brothers??"
"Okay, but only if you get the Wachowski Brothers..."
**12 months later**
"I got the Wachowski Sisters!"
**Producer Guy stares...**
**Pitch Guy stares...**
**Producer Guy stares...**
**Pitch Guy stares...**
"...ohh, okay. FINE!!"
His delivery of “those are more words!” had me choking
I happened to have just watched this movie again because someone was talking about how nuts it was. It is insane.
“You off your meds again?” 😭🤣🤣
Man the writing was so sharp on this one RG! Well done.
This entire movie sounds like a fever dream
It’s worse
And better 😅
Ayahuasca
Well, the writers are literally insane, so...
…or an acid trip 😳
That is what happens when you inject hormones your body isn't ready for.
The scene with a window looing at jupiter is super beautiful. I would pay to have that slow movie of Jupiter running in a picture frame. Incredible amount of money was spent on this film.
I genuinely thought this movie was a dream I had until I saw that Ryan had made a pitch meeting of it
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie and getting so hyped up that I convinced 2 of my friends to go and watch it...the only time I had literally fallen asleep in the cinema.
You can be lucky if you still can call them your friends after this move. lol
@@kopf-heldtotalneuro-logisc8479 no problem, we just watched Monkey Man together, so we like shitty movies. I just didn't expect Jupiter ascending to be so boring.
0:06 "no it's not." 😂
This was one of the funniest pitch meetings in awhile.
"...and this one can't control the volume of his voice." LOL. It was a mixture of puberty and gasping for air.
This movie makes me really appreciate that Iron Man never really "skated" around on the jets.
On the other hand, Shadow the Hedgehog.
He did a little in the first movie.
Thank goodness they didn't include the skates from the older Iron Man comics.
"You off your meds again?"
"Hey shut up Dad" 😂😂
1:57 those are words….Those are more words. Words followed up with more words for the sake of wording, is tight!
Pitch Meetings are tight!
The grin on your face makes the best ad read ever.
I literally saw this fing movie in the theatre, and it still feels like a fever dream. But I distinctly remember getting to the moment with the bees, listening in disbelief as Sean Bean said bees recognize royalty, and getting up to walk out. I only stayed cuz the friends I was with asked me to 😆
Up to this day i think she owes the world a sex tape to make up for this movie! :D
But does Sean Bean die in the end ? (Haven't watched the movie...)
_”Those are words?!”_ 🤣
I really need just a super long compilation of every single pitch meeting
I've been waiting for this...... And man was it worth it
This movie is a golden glittering gift. It's incredible. It's wild. It's everything I wanted as a 13 year old girl in a movie. I would rather something try for an extreme, fun, over the top adventure than another bland remake.
Good for you.
You’re god damn right. I felt the same as a 37 year old man. Such good, bonkers fun!
At least it is original or possibly based off a book but original to the screen
Yea I liked it too.
And some of the scenes where its like,"that couldn't happen, that's too crazy" ... we're actually a social commentary on the fact that people have no clue what's going on.
"Oohh, my god, Jupiter Jones is a freak!" 😂
"I thought he was part dog?!?"
"YEP and now he's got his *wings* back!"
God! when you put it like that xD I love this movie but yeah it was freaking goofy.
Part bird dog.
