I missed this one in theatres. I wanted to see it but I was unable to see it because of my move and new job. I didn’t think it would take this long to get to see it but c’est la vie, I’m watching Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets now.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a visually stunning, beautiful, science fiction film from writer/director Luc Besson, of The Fifth Element and The Professional. It stars some people I’ve never heard, not impossible as Besson is from France and makes a lot of French films. I don’t know if these actors are French or if they’re just “new”, I’ve never seen them before.

Major Valerian and Sgt. Laureline are special agents working for the Human government in the future and are tasked with finding and defeating a threat to Alpha, a space station that has grown into a giant space city representing most known species in the known galaxy. As ever, not everything is as it seems. Hijinks ensue. Rihanna makes an appearance.

This is a visual feast. I was completely enthralled by the visuals in this film.

I actually kind of enjoyed it.

The Not So Good...

It was a bit confusing.

There were a lot of unnecessary sequences.

I really enjoyed it.

I was pretty excited to see this movie precicely because it was a Luc Besson movie and he made some of my favorites like The Fifth Element, Kiss of the Dragon, La Femme Nikita, and Leon. When I got to the theatre, I began to wonder ehy I hadn't seen anything from him in a while. Then this horrible movie started snd I had my answer. Yes, it was visually very cool, but the writing was so poor, and the acting was so terrible that I would have left if the seats weren't so comfortable
