Fanfic: Jupiter Ascending
Feb. 16th, 2015 08:12 amWhen I first saw the preview for Jupiter Ascending, some months back, I was kind of ambivalent about the movie. It looked muddled and messy and fraught and while I still kind of wanted to see it, I wasn't all that excited about it. And then the reviews started coming in, and I realized, okay, yes, I absolutely needed to see this. And it was AWESOME!
Oh, it wasn't a great film and it won't go down in history as transforming the storytelling process or anything, but it was an amazingly fun ride to be on and just stuff kept on happening (and I want a pair of those roller-blading gravity boots so much!) and it was just a whole lot of fun. I definitely need to go back and see it again. And I really hope there are sequels. And I hope those sequels are just as ridiculous as this one.
One of the real strengths of this movie, is that it does a wonderful job of walking that line between not taking itself too seriously but also not being too self-conscious either. It is what it is and it went with it.
Anyway, while this movie introduced us to three potential main bad guys, only one of them wound up (presumed) dead at the end. And there was a moment in there, where I thought one different decision on our heroine's part could have had interested ramifications.
And thus:
One Different Decision (on AO3) (on FF.net)
summary: The impact of one different decision: Titus Abrasax does not survive his attempt at marriage to Jupiter.
