Description:
The pairing of VFX Supervisor Dan Glass with directors Lana and Andy Wachowski is a well-known recipe for creating lavishly styled films – “Speed Racer”, “Cloud Atlas”, and “The Matrix” sequels, for example. “Jupiter Ascending” is no different, and conjures up stunning environments, creatures, and action sequences.
Andy and Lana Wachowski’s “Jupiter Ascending” brings Mila Kunis (Jupiter Jones), Channing Tatum (Caine), Eddie Redmayne (Balem), and Sean Bean (Stinger) together in a lavish and beautifully designed sci-fi universe, run by an ancient dynasty that farms entire planets for their DNA.
