The self-discovery journey has a passive and bland protagonist, the space politics plot is interesting but confusing, and the shallow romantic arc feels purely obligatory. Nothing works, and the serious tone, poor dialogue (“I love dogs”), and mediocre turns and VFX don’t help. With the ending repeat of Jupiter’s life on earth I almost forgave it all as a weird character growth metaphor, but then wolf-man boyfriend comes zooming in again on his sky skates and he’s grown wings now and.. yeah.

This movie was a bit frustrating for me. I really did want to like it, especially since it has some good ideas and some great sci-fi visuals throughout. However, the movie is very much in love with its own narrative and over complicates a lot of the scenarios.
