Its not like they redeemed themselves since 2 and 3 either; Jupiter Ascending was trash. What did people expect?

Jupiter Ascending is a guilty pleasure. I know it's bad, so when I'm in the mood to shut my brain off and it's available, I do watch it from time to time. It's got enough visuals and entertainment in it that it'll keep my attention for a bit. Plus, Mila.

TBH, I found a way to enjoy Jupiter Ascending by imagining that the Big Rich Family was a precursor to Dune. It's not perfect of course, but the worldbuilding part of that was fun to imagine as something pre-Butlarian-Jihad. The sheer extravagance at least was on par with the Harkonens. Beyond that, the plot of "reborn woman gets to be a planet-princess and then goes back to scrubbing toilets" was completely stupid. The Bureaucracy scene was funny though.

V for Vendetta is classic. Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite films of all time. It's incredibly divisive, but if you appreciate its deep symbolism and rich interwoven storytelling, it's beautiful. The wide dynamic range of genres it attempts to fit - romance, comedy, science fiction, murder mystery, spy thriller - is not only ambitious, but absolutely works to establish the symphony of it all. Resurrections surpasses the mediocre second and third Matrix films and manages to troll both the studio and the audience in a deliberately tongue in cheek, yet equally trippy way. It's clever for working with the tools they had.

  To add to that, _Speed Racer_ should be the thing that TV manufacturers pack in to show off their fancy 4K HDR TVs — bright and vibrant in a way that Hollywood action movies avoid nowadays. The dialogue and acting are corny and stilted, but in a way that mirrors the TV show its adapting.

  You have great taste! V for Vendetta and Cloud Atlas are absolute masterpieces. Definitely Top 10.

Everyone forgets about the avant-garde energy that was Speed Racer.
