The best critic slams of 'Jupiter Ascending'

The Matrix it ain't.

Critics weren't too pleased with Jupiter Ascending, the latest film from the Wachowskis -- who made their mark on Hollywood with the Matrix trilogy. The Channing Tatum and Mila Kinus-starring sci-fi epic currently has a low 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. We rounded up some of the best slams of the movie:

Paste BN's own Claudia Puig:

"The story is laughably inane and uninvolving." (Read the full review here.)

The New York Post:

"A movie so jaw-droppingly awful that you can't wait to see what happens next (and that was without the use of mood-altering substances on my part)."

Vulture:

"Jupiter Ascending is inane from first frame to last - the dialogue is so clunky, I wondered if George Lucas had been brought in to do the rewrite."

Miami Herald:

"The worst movie the Wachowskis have ever made."

Seattle Times:

This movie is worse than bad. Let's try 'epically awful' on for size. 'Insanely bloated;' that works. Me, I'll settle for 'just plain silly.'"

The New York Times:

"A big, woozy, spacey fairy tale with a science-fiction exoskeleton and a core of pure mush."

The Toronto Star:

"Watching Jupiter Ascending is like reading a menu of genre munchies at a drive-thru 'B' movie burger stand."

San Jose Mercury News: 

"Jupiter Ascending is the film equivalent of a baseball slugger unleashing a huge swing and missing."
