Jupiter Ascending' Debuts to Muted Crowd at Sundance

The Sundance Film Festival isn’t a typical launchpad for studio blockbusters, but Warner Bros. surprised theater-goers on Tuesday night by unveiling the Wachowski siblings’ Jupiter Ascending at a “secret screening.

The invitation-only event, which was not billed as a premiere, was the first time Jupiter Ascending was shown to the public. Variety broke news of the screening on Tuesday afternoon, but there were other clues the audience wasn’t about to see a typical Sundance indie.

When attendees with tickets arrived at the Egyptian Theater in Park City, they were handed 3D glasses.

Despite the hype of a secret screening, clusters of seats inside the 300-person venue remained empty, and a handful of patrons walked out of the two-hour-plus space epic starring Mila Kunis as a princess and Channing Tatum as an intergalactic soldier tasked with rescuing her.

The Wachowskis’ flair was fully on display, with sequences reminiscent of The Matrix or Star Wars. But when the film ended, the usually gracious Sundance audience didn’t clap at the closing credits.

“I hated it,” said one of the festival’s volunteers, who asked not to be identified for fear of irking Sundance. “It’s just ridiculous.”

Her husband was more forgiving. “It’s a combination of a whole bunch of things wrapped into one,” he said.

Neville Kiser, a screenwriter, thought the movie was hurt by the fact that it was debuting at a venue for highbrow films. “I actually liked it,” Kiser said. “But the Sundance context is weird. There were so many people in the audience scoffing and sneering. They are forgetting they are watching a movie targeted primarily to teenage boys. I’m sure those 15-year-old boys, and hopefully girls, will like it.”

The film’s co-directors and stars were not in attendance. One industry expert speculated that the discombobulated story would mean that Warner Bros., which spent $175 million on the film, would lose a significant chunk of money.

Jupiter Ascending was originally scheduled for a summer release, which was later postponed. The movie now opens on Feb. 6

I've never walked out of a theater.....but the only movie i can recall people walking out on was Irreversible. People walked out in droves on that one, i imagine due to its intense, graphic nature.

I cannot blame them. That rape scene was awful... then the fire extinguisher... ugh

Not sure if you meant that chronologically, but in the movie the fire extinguisher came first.

But yeah, I'd put either scene on par with the footage of the Afghani pre-teen beheading a captive with a dull knife, or those Russian psychopath teens mutilating bums and filming it with their camera phone from a couple years back.

I remember the story from my God fearing, lifelong country farm wife Grandma... she got extra bored one day and decided she'd just go uptown without saying anything about it to her husband.

So she got all dressed up and went uptown to see a show, chosen basically at random, and what did she choose?... "Little Nicky"

... not only Sandlers worst movie ever, but she wouldnt have been even mildly amused by his BEST movie ever

"well I just got up and walked right out of that awful thing!"

Just imagine your own Grandma going to that disgrace, and she never went uptown for a movie again.

Holy shit that reminds me of the time that happened to my great aunt. She's the sweetest lady and basically a saint. I guess she went to the theater with her friend and saw There's something about Mary?

They only made it 20 minutes(Have no clue how they made it through 10 minutes). I frickin died laughing when my Mom told me. Now even though that was a great movie she couldn't possibly go see that. lol

The wife and I walked out of Birdman. It was highly touted and highly disappointing.

Wow. Best movie of the year imo. That's surprising to me. Still, I had the urge to walk out on Boyhood and people can't stop blowing that one.

I very nearly got up and left in the middle of "Drive". What an enormous piece of shit that was.

**gblowfish** · 01-30-2015, 01:25 PM

Long time ago I walked out on "Annie." I guess I shouldn't have done mushrooms first... Here recently, I rented "The Neighbors" and could only watch about 20 minutes before I had to just turn it off. Not funny, just stupid.

Slept through SinCity, but I was high as ****. Don't know if I've ever actually walked out of a movie.
