When Dark Matter started, it asked its audience a simple question: what if there was a different reality for each choice made, for each possibility in life? Things got more complex over weeks while we watched Jason (Joel Edgerton) and Amanda (Alice Braga) travel across multiple realities using the Box \u2014 but after both of them found their places in the last episode, another big discovery is introduced. A different reality for each choice made, for each possibility, right? Jason and Amanda entered that Box, and suddenly an infinite amount of possible outcomes existed, for each door opened, for each door unopened.<\/p>\n

This means that thousands of Jasons have been looking for their family and their reality inside the Box \u2014 after all, their journeys inside the Box might have been different, but they all started late at night with a friend at a bar, they all were kidnapped by Jason2 and taken to another dimension. Thousands of Jasons traveling, most of them probably died or haven\u2019t found their way home yet, but dozens survived and returned to their rightful place. They all want Daniela (Jennifer Connelly) and Charlie (Parker Queenan) back \u2014 and some of them want revenge too.<\/p>\n

Jupiter<\/b><\/i> opens with an unknown version of Jason attacking Jason2, who ends up killing the attacker. While he tries his best to hide the body from Daniela and Charlie, other Jasons start to surround him, each one with a plan. This includes our Jason Prime, the one we accompanied this whole time on his journey across the multiverse \u2014 after learning about the other Jasons, he comes up with a plan to get Daniela\u2019s attention before anyone else. He does it by doing things no Jason would ever do, being arrested and calling his wife.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jason2 takes Charlie on a tour. His initial plan was to show Charlie the university in which he used to work \u2014 but when another version of Jason starts stalking them, Jason2 does anything in his power to stop Charlie from discovering the truth about his identity. Again, I need to highlight Joel Edgerton\u2019s acting \u2014 now not only as Jason and Jason2, but as a whole lot of Jasons, each one with a different backstory inside the Box. He was so good playing the Jason that was stalking Jason2 \u2014 I mean, the whole sequence consists of both characters playing cat and mouse, and they are so convincing in selling the idea that both are completely different people.<\/p>\n

Also, Jennifer Connelly has been so good this entire time, but here she excels herself delivering extraordinary acting, especially in two moments, the first one being when she meets Jason Prime in prison, and he convinces her to call Jason2 and ask him questions about things that never happened. After Jason2 falls for it and acts like those fake things indeed happened, Daniela is frightened \u2014 suddenly, all the weird things from the last weeks and all the impossible things Prime Jason is saying to her seem somehow possible. There\u2019s a moment between the two of them, separated from each other for a long time, that\u2019s so full of pain and questions, but there\u2019s no time for talking at the moment. So Jason Prime and Daniela create a password \u2014 Jupiter \u2014 so she can know she\u2019s talking to her husband. The second scene is the one in which Daniela tricks Jason2 and gets back at him for all he\u2019s done, running away with Charlie and leaving him locked in the basement.<\/p>\n

After she escapes with Charlie, another version of Jason comes to their rescue \u2014 but she realizes too late that they entered in a car that\u2019s not from Jason Prime. Then, a car crash \u2014 a different Jason is trying to intercept them. Charlie is confused, his mother is terrified, and they both run away from the scene. Finally, they meet Jason Prime \u2014 the family reunited at last. And Daniela makes her choice to go with him.<\/p>\n

I was going to say this final part of the episode was intense and full of tension, but honestly? That could be said about the episode as a whole. With Jupiter<\/b><\/i>, Dark Matter<\/i> reached its peak, delivering an hour full of twists, action, suspense, and dramatic, climactic moments. I can\u2019t wait for the finale next week \u2014 even though this has been incredibly faithful to the source material, it\u2019s also been really fun and surprising and it feels like an awesome finale is on its way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
