So, yes, that article about how Jupiter Ascending is the movie my sixteen year-old self wanted is pretty much completely and utterly true.
I would have worshipped this movie at age 16. Since it's some twenty years too late for that, I merely love it. It is, IMO, not as enjoyable as Pacific Rim which keysmashed its way through most of my personal id, but Jupiter Ascending managed to snag most of my id, and where it didn't, I can overlook it.
( the long version )
I kind of wish there was the chance of a sequel - hell, why not two? Jupiter Apogee and Jupiter Regnant.
There's a lot of stuff to parse in the movie - a lot of terminology and technology, and I'm very definitely going to have to see it a second time in the movies to get a better feel for the world before I write it. If I write it.

...and I've had my very first glimpse of the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. I've basically avoided all spoilers up until now. And I think I'm gonna keep on that way.
April, huh? They seem to be moving the releases earlier and earlier in the year. Presumably to take as much advantage of the northern hemisphere summer as possible.
