A second viewing made me realize that I had erred in editing Jerry's having stated that Jupiter was the inheritor merely of the Earth, as opposed to the whole Abrasax empire, which is what I changed it to. I did not notice it being clarified in the movie as to why Jupiter was only limited to this as the genetic 'recurrence' of the Abrasax sibling's mother, so I guess we must assume that the Earth was all that the mother had originally been entitled to, as perhaps the prior inheritance split from her husband?
This explains why Kalique didn't feel so threatened by Jupiter, while Titus and Balem both desired to respectively attain or re-attain Earth for its exceedingly rich and immanent 'harvest'.
This needs to be corrected as Titus wanted to marry Jupiter and then kill her so as to become titled to Earth that had previously been inherited by Balem, while Balem tried to coerce Jupiter by kidnapping her kin and threatening to render then.
Also of note was that Jupiter was schooled by Caine that while the majority of the population was literally witness to many violent and other interventions of the Abrasax and their minions that most of them would not register these things [either by their pre-existing contextual frameworks or via other means], while the few who did would be ignored [through marginalization and such].
Also, Jupiter learns that human societies on Earth and elsewhere are organized in a pyramid fashion, with the Abrasax at the very top. Of course, here the image of a pyramid with either its missing cap or the all-seeing-eye becomes apropos with the Abrasax remaining literally out of view of the various crops of humans spread throughout the universe.
This paradigm is also consistent with the Postflavian schema that posits that most all Earthly human communities, especially the Abramic ones, are part of this pyramid structure. As such, we posit that those who claim that such as Masonry and Satanism are THE problem as opposed to those faithful 'of the book' are on a Fool's Errand. It is all part of one cynical and delusional package. Unfortunately, too many atheists and agnostics irrationally feel all this is merely benign and anachronistic superstition. In reality it is very sophisticated psychological manipulation - aka shepherding of humans.
With Jupiter and Caine returning happily ever after, presumably(?), to Earth, one is also left with the question of what their attitude is to the fate of the other Abrasax enterprise human communities throughout the universe is. Perhaps grist for a sequel? Not likely from the box office receipts.
But here, it is also interesting to note that the movie got its worst reception in the USA, where of course the critics have panned it, mostly for its 'entertainment' value, apparently from script shortcomings and such as apparent failure to satisfy certain sci-fi genre expectations.
But we assert that the real message of Jupiter Ascending was missed by most all, except for Neil Hague and maybe some others at least, either because of the respective reviewers' internal or external filters did not allow for such dissonance.
Also, we did not discuss in the review that the Abrasax sibling rivalry also seems to be reflected in how much of real Earthly affairs are managed by the hidden hand of the elite shepherds. While they use identical modus operandi and co-operate on one level there are yet occasional family feuds over turf.

Balem’s strategy is to kill Jupiter and absorb her DNA; Titus wants to marry her; and Calique just wants to be her friend.
This needs to be corrected as Titus wanted to marry Jupiter and then kill her so as to become titled to Earth that had previously been inherited by Balem, while Balem tried to coerce Jupiter by kidnapping her kin and threatening to render then.

Despite a disappointing North America debut the film opened in the top spot overseas, earning a solid $32.5 million playing in theatres of 65 markets in other territories.
