#rip in the face of so much Dark and Colourless sci-fi we dishonour a nugget of fun maximalist fantasy

[variousqueerthings]

the shame and cringiness in the jupiter ascending letterboxd, with people “admitting” they liked it and then giving it 2 stars, as if it’s not solidly doing exactly what it ought to and giving all of these people a good time

as if letterboxd is a place where you can only rate the objectively best movies highly and you don’t have a million b-z-movies that have been given 4 stars unironically by fond viewers (such as myself) 

let yourselves say that you were moved dammit! what are you trying to prove here, that this movie doesn’t deserve your affection? if you’ve seen it 3+ times and intend to do so again, then maybe you like the movie!

#i fucking love this movie it's the only movie in which eddie redmayne does anything interesting #it's got great action and better space aristocracy/capitalist costumes than dune 2021 #i could watch a whole series exploring the world-building of that movie #and channing tatum plays a scifi angel werewolf soldier/slave-turned-hero #rip in the face of so much Dark and Colourless sci-fi we dishonour a nugget of fun maximalist fantasy #cinema #movies #jupiter ascending #do not be afraid of loving silliness you will not be cast into movie-jail
