General information
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a 2017 science fiction movie directed by Luc Besson. The movie is based on a French comic series “Valérian and Laureline” created by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières. The movie follows the adventures of Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne), two special agents who are tasked with maintaining order throughout the universe.
The movie is visually stunning, with a lot of creative and imaginative designs for the different alien species and worlds that Valerian and Laureline encounter. The special effects are top-notch, and the action sequences are thrilling and well-executed. The movie’s soundtrack is also noteworthy, with an original score by Alexandre Desplat.
However, despite its visual and technical achievements, the movie suffers from weak writing and character development. The chemistry between the two leads is lacking, and their performances feel wooden and unconvincing. The plot is convoluted and confusing, with several subplots that don’t quite come together in a satisfying way. The movie also has pacing issues, with some scenes dragging on for too long while others feel rushed.
Overall, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a visually impressive movie with a lot of potential, but it falls short in terms of its writing and character development. It’s worth watching for the stunning visuals and action sequences, but don’t expect a cohesive or emotionally engaging story.
