Jupiter Ascending

The Wachowski...siblings seem to operate within this epic universe where human beings are interchangeable, moving parts. In The Matrix, we're batteries; in Cloud Atlas, we're parts of different people; in Jupiter Ascending, we're embryos for space royalty. We're harvested like crops for them to bathe in our...youth juices to keep their skin tight and their lips pouty. The working class has their DNA recombined to create wolf-men and bee-boys. It's not the cluster fork it sounds like, but it's distinctly odd and perplexing. I have to wonder how they sold the idea: Cinderella...outer space...manimals...youth juice.
