Judging A Movie By Its Poster. Judging A Book By Its Cover: Are we glorifying the American gun culture in our movies? Or is the gun culture a natural extension of what we depict in our movies?

Weekend of February 5, 2015: Jupiter Ascending
Jupiter Ascending: Even in a futuristic sci fi world, a gun is still the weapon of choice. A man posed with a gun wearing a tank top to show off his muscles still projects machismo and possibly heroic qualities. The movie title is about Jupiter, a woman. So where is she in this poster?
I have heard of mixed reviews of the movie, but judging just from this poster, I won't go and see it in a movie theatre. Too contrived. On TV maybe.
Directed by Wachowski Brothers, starring Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, and Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne.
