Valerian is at times so mind-meltingly beautiful and strange that I’m still not sure I didn’t just dream it all.
2831d ago
If nothing else, the Alpha seems to be a physical manifestation of Besson’s subconscious, a place populated with oddities and eccentric costumes, where beautiful female creatures, alien and human alike, are preyed upon by corrupt males.
2831d ago
The difference between the film and its equally expensive contemporaries is Luc Besson’s playful, childlike naïveté.
2831d ago
Luc Besson’s space romp Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets is fun if you can stand the dumb.
2831d ago
Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevigne flirt and blast their way through an exquisite universe of silliness.
2831d ago
'Lucy' director Luc Besson returns to the realm of sci-fi, serving up an expansive, expensive adventure whose creativity outweighs its more uneven elements.
2831d ago
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a visually stunning, but hollow romp.
2831d ago
While “Valerian” and its gigantic canvas may make ‘Star Wars’ look like child’s play, the movie and its flat characters still cause one to yearn for Lucas’ fun, but stock archetypes and sometimes wooden line-readings.
2831d ago
During the film’s intoxicating first 30 minutes, for example, I couldn’t decide whether what I was watching was brilliantly bonkers or total folly. Then, as the story went on, it came into sharper and sharper focus: Valerian is an epic mess.
2831d ago
Luc Besson is in love with the world of Valerian — but not the characters.
2831d ago
Luc Besson’s sci-fi spectacle blasts off visually, but its two stars fail to shine.
2831d ago
Besson's commercial instincts for sleek, violent fantasy are often sound, but "Valerian" is more sedative than show.
2831d ago
French filmmaker behind 'The Fifth Element' returns with a visually sumptuous – and totally flat – space opera.
2831d ago
The casting of Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne as the barely legal special operatives tasked to save the universe aims to defy standard notions of what makes a movie hero.
2831d ago
In the mid-26th century, special agents Valerian (DeHaan) and Laureline (Delevingne) must deal with a mysterious threat to the cosmically cosmopolitan deep-space metropolis of Alpha, home to millions of lifeforms from a thousand different worlds — while also dealing with their growing attraction to each other.
2831d ago
Valerian focuses on a larger sci-fi spectacle populated with unfleshed characters and some of the worst dialogue Earth has to offer.
2831d ago
To say that “Valerian” is a science-fiction epic doesn’t quite do it justice. Imagine crushing a DVD of “The Phantom Menace” into a fine powder, tossing in some Adderall and Ecstasy and a pinch of cayenne pepper and snorting the resulting mixture while wearing a virtual reality helmet in a Las Vegas karaoke bar. Actually, that sounds like too much fun, but you get the idea.
2831d ago
"Valerian” is an expensive, handsome but dozy invalid of a movie.
2831d ago
If you’re going to call your sci-fi movie “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets,” you’d better be sure Valerian (Dane DeHaan) is a guy your audience can get behind.
2831d ago
Luc Besson's new sci-fi extravaganza stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne as 28th-century operatives racing to save the universe.
