Luc Besson's grasp on the ridiculous—from creatures to production design to dialogue and humor—is a breath of fresh air. — Patrik Sandberg (@PatrikSandberg) June 29, 2017

#Valerian: Inventive world-building and some awesomely unique set pieces. Runs out of steam eventually, but overall a fun, worthwhile romp. — Angie J. Han (@ajhan) June 29, 2017

That said: Dane DeHaan is a bizarre choice for this role. The script and the performance paint two totally different characters. #Valerian — Angie J. Han (@ajhan) June 29, 2017

Dug opening sequence of #Valerian, has amazing 3D look. Flavor of FIFTH ELEMENT but not the same payoff. Luc Besson fans are gonna luv it. — Jason Guerrasio (@JasonGuerrasio) June 29, 2017

the world is bursting w/ rich, textured detail. his aliens are the most fascinating bits, but (human) leads tend to detract from that magic — e. oliver whitney (@CinemaBite) June 29, 2017

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS is the visually spectacular new adventure film from Luc Besson, the legendary director of The Professional, The Fifth Element and Lucy, based on the ground-breaking comic book series which inspired a generation of artists, writers and filmmakers. In the 28th century, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are a team of special operatives charged with maintaining order throughout the human territories. Under assignment from the Minister of Defense, the two embark on a mission to the astonishing city of Alpha—an ever-expanding metropolis where species from all over the universe have converged over centuries to share knowledge, intelligence and cultures with each other. There is a mystery at the center of Alpha, a dark force which threatens the peaceful existence of the City of a Thousand Planets, and Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.
