All of that is true, but the pacing of the movie didn't work for me. I wanted it to be a little faster, a little more witty, and to have fewer extended sequences of people falling and needing to be rescued while falling.
That said, there's no reason for you to apologize for liking it.
I saw that in the theater with my husband forever ago... we saw both it and Kingsman on the same day. Kingsman is a legitimately great action flick--so much fun. Jupiter Ascending was nuts and a half with a scene chewing Redman and a plot that doesn't quite work. Kunis is great, I agree. When Cain tells her that he's more like her dog than a person she manages to say, with a straight face, "I like dogs!" And it is ridiculous and sincere and sweet. The ending kinda ruined it for me--it struck me as totally unbelievable. The whole intergalactic capitalist ruling class? Totally believable. A woman who finds out she's a queen in that ruling class deciding to return to Earth and go back to her AND HER FAMILY living in near poverty scrubbing toilets? Um. No. Still, I need to go watch that again, because whatever else it was, it was gorgeous.

Yes, Jupe is a batshit bonfire failure of a movie, but once you accept that, it’s terrific fun.
