Famous people, but some of the worst acting outside of the porn industry. Could have made an interesting story if you weren't spending all of the time trying to figure out who is who. Total waste of time, would have been a waste of money but it was free with Prime

A Silly Movie with Little Real Substance

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

A race of very tall, thin humanoids with high cheekbones enjoys an idyllic existence on a distant planet, living in perfect harmony with nature until wanton humans destroy their habitat, ruining the civilization of these noble savages. 2009's Avatar? No, it's 2017's Valerian, which even hired the same visual effects company that did Avatar. Yet this movie's recycling of old ideas doesn't end there; the entire thing feels like a cliche. It's amazing how a movie can copy all of the elements of classic space operas like Star Wars (a small scrappy team takes on more powerful foes in deep space, encountering various alien species, militaristic thugs, and unscrupulous black-market dealers, engaging in shootouts and vehicular chases, as two leading characters engage in a figurative romantic chase) and still fail so miserably.

The plot often gets sidetracked, like the interminable section with the Boulan Bathors, which does nothing for the movie except allow Valerian to rescue the damsel-in-distress and Rihanna (with her body double) to perform a musical / dance number. And how could you improve upon finely crafted dialogue like the romantic line that Valerian delivers when proposing to Laureline at the end of the movie: "I really care for you, you know?" Especially since the actor apparently learned delivery by studying early Keanu Reeves movies. Speaking of whom, there is actually a scene in which a bomb gets defused with 1 second remaining on the digitial timer. This movie actually rubs its lack of originality in your face.

At least the digital effects are pretty good. Visually, Valerian feels to a great extent like a snazzier, more technically sophisticated version of Besson's Fifth Element. Unfortuantely, that's not nearly enough to save it.

A more human oriented science fiction story.

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

A great movie that for some reason attracts the wrong audience.

An amazing tribute to the source material and expands on the story by adapting it to film. I really loved this as the passion for the source material by Luc Besson really shines through. I think the reason for the poor reviews are due to the departure by the director from some of his other films. It takes itself less seriously than many additions to science fiction coming out around this time. For example Blade Runner recently came out at the same time and has a starkly different tone, more serious and bleak. By Valerian is not like this, it has a fun quirky feel. It is more about the people and the feelings of the characters and uses science fiction as the vehicle to tell a more human story. Additionally the science fiction elements are not really explained in gory detail, but they are clever and interesting nonetheless. I see this as part of the fun since the setting is far enough in the future to make this believable and it allows more focus on the real takeaway of the story, which is simply the importance of love and the softer side of humanity. Not the way technology will ultimately alter our lives or how androids will take over like so many stories in this genre focus on.

In short this is a film that may have tragically been not marketed correctly to reach the appropriate audience and may have come at a time with audiences expect a different tone from science fiction stories. I believe most of the poor ratings are more due to this and less about the film itself.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film and hope there is a sequel that will garner more mass appeal in the future.

Mark Blanchard

Possibly the worst casting of any big budget film ever

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

The visuals of a Luc Besson are what you pay your money for and they don't disappoint, but almost everything else does. Watch the beginning and then tune out. It has a beautiful opening sequence set to Bowie's Major Tom, then a lovely second sequence set on the supermodel pearl gatherer planet... then the two leads show up and the movie goes ker-plunk, right to the bottom of the galactic toilet bowl. Some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard exchanged between two leads that have so little chemistry that all you can concentrate on is how bad the dialogue is.

There is one sequence where Laureline is communicating with Valerian over a space radio. It's only him on one end and its only her on the other....nobody else is talking... yet every single line Laureline speaks, she opens with "Valerian, did you hear me?", "Valerian, you have to go faster.", "Valerian, I'm repeating your name again because it's written down on this piece of paper in front of me."

DeHaan is, of course, an abysmal choice for an action hero. Small, shrimpy, and with a petulant face that you'd expect from an underclassman at Slytherin, but he's not as badly miscast as Delavigne. For about the first 5 minutes she was on screen, I thought her dialogue was actually dubbed, that it wasn't her real voice coming out of her lips. Poor Cara, her wild personal life so overrides her professional merits (whatever they may be) that all I can think of whenever she's on screen is 'Boy, I'll bet she's hating this sausage fest and can't wait to get back to partying with her galpals.'

The whole thing is a mess, but it's occasionally an attractive mess... whenever the two leads aren't onscreen.

Okay...let's get this one out of the way first. Yerrrrrt again, the bad guy is the English bloke. Yawn.
Back to the film. I think the other reviews have been harsh, this is a good film.
Who's to say what life looks like on other planets? Almost every other film shows them as humans with a few bits either added or removed. We are far more likely to find a bunch of very strange types of life, evolved to fit their planet's habitat?
The plot? Easy to follow and not confused or lost in the way the film tells the story.
The lead characters play their parts well, and do not distract at all from the plot.
Then you have the glorious, spectacular landscapes and space station. Almost brilliant effects. Ruined by the first scene where you can actually see where the wires are holding the 'floating' man in the first space station. ooops.
I was engrossed from start to finish.
Plot. Don't read if you don't want any spoilers at all!
Shows how the current Earth space station gradually grows over time. Becomes too big to stay in Earth's orbit and so is allowed to leave orbit and over thousands of years, keeps growing and becomes home to almost every species in the universe.
Then a story revolving around a peaceful group of aliens that have their world destroyed.
No more plot as it would spoil the film completely.
Buy this one.

Bright, Colourful and Mad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a film by Luc Besson the director who made The Fifth Element and Lucy this film is just as extravagant and odd as those other films. Dane Dehaan and Cara Delevingne play two agents based on an ever evolving space station/world, their job is to protect a commander played by Clive Owen who is trying to cover up a genocide. The film is filled with colourful aliens and explores the different worlds that exist on the space station. The film also stars Rihanna as an exotic dancer who is actually a blue form changing alien and her performance is charming.
But the main reason for watching this film is the worlds which Luc Besson creates it is like watching a psychedelic extravaganza with very bright colours and equally absurd characters it is a film to wallow in the visual excesses of Besson. If the film has a weakness it is i feel that the central relationship doesn't quite spark but that is just a minor blip just sit back and enjoy the visual feast.

A "Valerian" 3D Edition Worth Eating.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I like this film. It's a fun sci-fi romp. On par with "The Fifth Element" action and character wise. Lots of visual eye candy effects in this one.

The steel box edition of this film is not region free. However, if you have the right BRD player (certain Sony and Panasonic models apparently) you might be able to use one of a few remote control "button tricks" to get it to play on a US player. Search your fav video repository for a "how to" vid on that. Amazing what you can find on that internet these days.

I imported this film for the 3D disc. I originally bought a region free release from Hong Kong, but was utterly disappointed with the horrible 3D conversion issues it had during the space scenes and dark interior shots which make up a third of the movie. This UK Steelbox Version of "Valerian" is far better 3D wise. Not perfect, but 90% better conversation wise (at least on my system).

They stopped selling 3D BD in the US. Theaters have reduced 3D screenings by half there. Very happy Amazon UK still supports 3D.

Excellent worldbuilding and vsiuals; Atrocious storytelling and characterisations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

On the plus side: A science fiction visual paradise. Beautiful Graphics and Visuals and thought provoking worlds.

On the minus side: Atrocious storytelling and badly written characters.

A planet has been destroyed but the consciousness of one of it's inhabitants is sent to Valerians mind. The film opts to reveal the planet destruction at the beginning and then reveal that Valerian is suffering nightmares by .... (wait for it) dialogue. Yes dialogue. Most directors and writers worth their salt would do it the other way around bringing in the nightmares piecemeal with the planet destruction as a plot reveal. Valerian seems hardly affected by the nightmares. Hardly any tension building and the audience already knew about the planets destruction so no major surprise coming up.

Valerian as written is an unbelievably dull character. He has the rank of Major but seems to treat his duties as a bored shop assistant would. The actions scenes are good but I find it difficult to invest in a character that shamelessly flirts with a subordinate, casually proposes marriage, doesn't give a toss for an entire squad of soldiers who've sacrificed themselves to ensure his survival and mission success and in the end is hung up for a moment on regulations that stop him saving an entire species but then relents.

It's a shame because I enjoyed Luc Bessons "The 5th Element" which had a far more compelling story with interesting characters.

Imagineering At It's Finest!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you like Star Wars then hopefully you will love this film!!!
I think it's brilliant, very, very imaginative, the aliens are fantastic, so are the world's on show, plus the ideas such as "Big Market" are outstanding, everything is so beautiful and bright, unlike a lot of gloomily shot films, a lot of them are shot so dark now days you can't see what the hell is going on !
The first two scenes, the start of Alpha and alien contact, then the Pearls home world really set you up for the rest of the film, they are both very, very well done, one of the best movie starts I can think of.
The plot might have the odd hole, but on the whole I think it's well thought out, much better then the average crash, bang , wallop no brainer actioneer.
I also liked the charecters, not just the two hero's but their commanding officer, the three bat like alien informents, the submarine captian, and last but by no means least the Pearls themselves, they one of the most civilised alien races I've seen in cinema!!!
About two hours long this film is packed, at the price Amazon is selling the DVD for it's a steal, so go on take a risk and try it, I don't think you will regret it!!!
This one definitely goes in to my favorite top ten SF movies.
