Eddie Redmayne’s role as Balem Abrasax in Jupiter Ascending was criticized for being overly theatrical and inconsistent. His whispery voice and sudden outbursts of yelling felt bizarre rather than menacing, making the character unintentionally funny. Critics argued that his performance clashed with the film’s already chaotic tone, creating scenes that felt more like parody than science fiction. Despite Redmayne’s talent, this role showcased how an overly eccentric approach can backfire.
