“Jupiter Ascending” sums itself up nicely in an early scene where an exciting alien dogfight ravages the skies of Chicago for several minutes without any kind of U.S. military response.

Basically, everything in this movie is designed to be as awesome as possible with just the bare minimum regard for things like logic and believable human interaction.

At this point, we should be used to this approach with the Wachowski siblings, who wrote and directed “Jupiter Ascending.” Their best films (here’s to you, “Speed Racer”) shine the most when the characters just shut up and take part in incredibly stylish action sequences.

For fans of coherent stories, “Jupiter Ascending” will be a disappointment. Mila Kunis is a poor Earth woman who finds out she’s actually the true heiress to a family of narcissistic space aristocrats who harvest the populations of developed planets to turn into high-dollar drugs.

Or something. I don’t know.

It’s a beautiful, wild CGI space opera mess, replete with plenty of visually wonderful space fights and some honestly impressive overacting courtesy of Eddie Redmayne (yes, from “The Theory of Everything”), who plays the main antagonist.

Frankly, “Jupiter Ascending” is a wildly stupid movie from top to bottom. However, that’s sort of what makes the whole thing work.

If the Wachowskis cared about thoughtful intelligence, we wouldn’t get to see Channing Tatum play a man whose genes were spliced with a wolf, and whose main form of transportation is rollerblading through the air with rocket boots.

We wouldn’t get to hear Kunis hilariously justify her feelings for Tatum by declaring her lifelong love of dogs.

We also wouldn’t get stunning plot details like the fact that Kunis can command swarms of bees because, in this universe, bees have been genetically modified not to harm space royalty.

If those little tidbits make “Jupiter Ascending” sound too ridiculous for your tastes, that’s completely understandable. Those of us who like having fun will just be over here enjoying ourselves.

But seriously, “Jupiter Ascending” is highly recommendable only to those who don’t have a problem with suspending their disbelief for a couple of hours and bathing in nonsense.

It’s difficult to call it an earnestly good movie, but it’s a million times more interesting than many of Hollywood’s more formulaic blockbusters.
