Valerian and the movie with 1000 plot holes

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS tonight film

DIRECTOR: Luc Besson CAST: Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, Herbie Hancock, Kris Wu, Rutger Hauer CLASSIFICATION: 10–12PG V RUNNING TIME: 137 minutes RATING: ★★✩✩✩ some strange reason, Besson made him speak in a weird raspy voice à la Jasmine Master. The dialogue itself is also cringeworthy and, apparently, you can fix anything through the power of love.

The lack of practical effects also makes the film look and feel fake. Besson should have taken some that $180 million production budget and at least had a few of the characters physically be there. Unfortunately, this causes the world to never be fully immersive and, unlike Star Wars, it all feels like a video game cut-scene.

Valerian as a character is also never fully developed. The characters never indicate why he is so special and, in the final battle, he beats up a whole battalion of android soldiers without breaking a sweat. Before this, there is no indication whatsoever that he is this super agent.

This film is also way too long. If you are going to have a runtime of more than two hours, then the pacing has to be on point. This movie could’ve easily been cut down to 90 minutes and it would have fixed a lot of issues.

Luc Besson should stay away from sci-fi for a while and leave it to the directors who know what they are doing.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets lacks emotion, good acting and is set to be one of biggest box office failures this year.
