Twenty years after The Fifth Element, director Luc Besson returns to sci-fi cinema with the vibrant, imaginative, but wildly uneven Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Based on the classic French comic book series Valerian and Laureline, the film follows a pair of space-time security agents tasked with protecting an invaluable resource generator while also uncovering a vast military conspiracy within their ranks. That's the simplest synopsis for this unwieldy story, penned by Besson, that is often an incoherent mess populated with underserved characters.
Paced like an old serial, some "chapters" work better than others in advancing the main plot line. The story's biggest, most jarring detour -- when Valerian sets out to rescue a captured Laureline -- essentially stops the narrative momentum flat in a sequence that offers a lot of zany, kid-friendly humor which actress Cara Delevingne, unfortunately, can't quite sell.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets showcases plenty of cool creatures and ideas for sci-fi fans to savor, but if only the movie's central characters and their relationship were as exciting and interesting as all that impressive eye candy.
Jul 21, 2017 · Jan 24, 2023. One of the few really well done modern non-dystopian science fiction films based on the comics by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières. The film is visually stunning and full of surprising twists and turns. Above all, it is peppered with a lot of humor and great ideas.
