Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict is a strong critique of an intergalactic feudal/corporate system that exploits planets and sentient life for profit, aligning with anti-capitalist and anti-colonialist themes. While the solution involves a 'chosen one' assuming inherited power, its purpose is to halt systemic exploitation, making the film left-leaning.
The movie features a cast with some visible diversity in supporting roles, but its main characters and primary antagonists are predominantly white, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative does not offer a critical portrayal of traditional identities, instead maintaining a neutral or positive framing.
Secondary
Jupiter Ascending does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a heterosexual romance and a struggle for galactic power, without incorporating any explicit queer representation or related plot points.
Jupiter Ascending does not contain any identifiable transsexual characters or explicit themes related to transgender identity. Consequently, there is no depiction to evaluate, resulting in an N/A rating for its net impact on the portrayal of transsexual characters and themes.
The film features Jupiter Jones as the primary female character involved in action sequences. However, her role is largely reactive, and she is consistently protected or rescued by male characters. There are no instances where she physically defeats one or more male opponents in close-quarters combat through skill or strength.
Jupiter Ascending is an original story with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or prior installments. All characters were created for this film, meaning there are no established canonical genders to be swapped.
Jupiter Ascending is an original science fiction film with no prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created for this specific film, meaning there is no pre-existing racial canon from which to deviate.
