Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) by Evangelos C — 12 Sep 2017
10/10 trailer for 9/10 visuals and 5/10 storytelling. It's a shame that the decent plot was hampered by THE most tasteless and expository exchanges at all THE most important beats. Go back to shorten and polish all the explaining, easy 1/2 extra star.
The trailer rubbed too much inspiration in picture and sound to me, along with what looks like mere bragging now. At least my viewing was delayed long enough for a soft landing, so the film can keep its groundbreaking, inspirational, and legendary status to itself.
