Ignore the "professional" reviews. More often than not, big studios financially influence reviewers to inflate their reviews to drive sales for their mainstream bullshit and quash any independent films that rival them. This movie is really good. The visuals and the creative imagination gone into it are something that demand respect and awe. Far better than anything else I've seen. They may even surpass the likes of Star trek and star wars. The story-telling is very tolerable in that it's pretty generic but it does have some uniqueness to it. I can't believe some reviewers called it "awful". That's a really strong word. This movie is definitely worth watching. This movie is more a 7.5 - 7.9. I gave it 10 so it can just a little closer to the rating it actually deserves. It's an indie people! C'mon! This is impressive for an indie.

This movie is such a let down, I have never read the comics that it is based off but I think fans would be hugely disappointed. The opening sequence is probably the best in the whole film, the effects are amazing, I love the design of the Mul, the landscape, the creatures, the event etc. But then it all goes down hill from there. I could tell the film was trying to use it's effects to bring people in. It would have worked back in 2009 but not today when CGI isn't new or *that* exciting anymore. Valerian is a bit of a Gary Stu, he boats about his achievements, but throughout the film is shown to be incompetent, lazy, and ignorant. I hate this character. Laureline is so bland there's nothing really to say about her. The interesting characters come and go so fast, we never learn more about them or why we should care about them. Like Bubble, her story seemed so interesting, but it was over so fast. The main actor and actress in this film are pretty bad, and I never really comment on performance but this time I had to. Valerian sounded like he was making his voice deeper to sound more manly, Laureline had 0 emotion. Her entire performance can be summed up with the :/ emoticon. Even when Valerian is in life threatening situations she doesn't seem too bothered about it. To say that he wants to marry her (says this repeatedly) there is 0 chemistry between the two. They fight more than they show emotion towards each other. Rhianna's performance was probably the best in the whole movie, it is a shame we didn't learn more about her character. The main focus was on Valerian and Laureline (well he is the title Character) but I feel more time should have been devoted to the story of Mul and it's people. There were some cool concepts, like the market in another dimension, but on the whole it was poorly executed and badly acted.

Was one of the last great adventure movies i seen in the last 10 years. This movie make me remember those adventure movies i saw in the 80s/90s but with great special effect. Love it.

I am at a mixed road reviewing this one. I really only watched it based on the fact that Cara Delevingne was in it. I think the story kind of sucked, but the CGI is was keep me interested. I do think this is a good movie to at least watch. It has a star studded cast and from the trailer I was thinking it would be a whole lot better.
