WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Down-on-her-luck caretaker Jupiter (Kunis) learns that she is an heir to a grand fortune: the Earth itself, thanks to her genetic signature which makes her royalty to a dynasty within the galaxy. However, she soon finds herself in the middle of a war between siblings Balem (Redmayne), Kalique (Middleton) and Titus (Booth) over the inheritance, and under the protection of genetically-engineered warrior Caine Wise (Tatum) she must come forward and make her claim before Balem destroys her planet…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The Wachowski siblings return to the big screen, with a brand-new and original sci-fi action film which may or may not reinvent them in the same way that the Matrix film series did years before.
