Valerian: A City Of A Thousand Planets.

 

   Valerian a city of a thousand planets is another evidence of critics bias and hate towards pretty much everything that isn't Disney related. You might disagree or argue all you want but it is the truth. It has 49% on rotten tomatoes which is considered the number one critic site right now. If you didn't like this movie's storyline you have to at least give it a 55% for it's extremely gorgeous visuals because this film has amazing and breath taking scenes,they're great and incredible to watch.

     It stars Dane Deehan as Valerian and Cara Delevigne as his partner/love interest Laureline. They're basically futuristic space cops with the weirdest and interesting technological gear you've ever seen and they work for like this really big space station with generals and stuff like that. To summarize the film's plot,I'd say it's a sci fi space adventure about two partners uncovering the shady mistake of their government...well technically one of their high ranking government officials.
   

       Immediately the film started I was mesmerised. It introduced an alien race and made me actually care for them. That's a really big deal considering they're longer movies where we don't give a damn about the characters and this movie made me care about tall ass looking aliens loosing their home world. I read a lot of reviews saying Dane and Cara didn't have any chemistry in this movie and I don't agree with them but what do I know? I mean am not the Type of guy to critique everything in other movies and give Disney owned/distributed films a pass so the internet won't care about what I think.

     The world is beautiful,the side characters are great and the story is compelling and even though it wasn't executed properly in my opinion, it wasn't bad also. If there's one thing I'm not sure off,it's Rihana. Now listen,I am a big fan of Rihana and she's pretty as hell and makes cool music so I don't know if I enjoyed her role as bubble the shape shifting alien because I'm already a big fan of hers or because she was actually good. I guess we'll never know,I think you guys should find out by yourself because I'm not entirely sure about that part.

    Now to mention what I didn't like in the movie. Here it is,the makers of this film didn't consider the fact that not everyone knows about Valerian and Laureline so there was a lot of weird and confusing scenes that I think referenced old stuff that probably happened in the comics were mentioned and pre-existing knowledge of the lore was needed to understand them . I personally watched a show about the two on teletoon called Time Jam: Valerian and Laureline and I didn't know it was based off that till like an hour and a half into the movie so imagine if you know nothing about them and you see them referencing things you don't know about. That was my major issue with the film's entirety and aside from that,it's an enjoyable film with great CGI and an actual message unlike other sci fi movies.

    In unrelated news,I'll try and crank up my posts per day to 3-5 hopefully if only you guys help me by sharing and subscribing. Thanks guys! ✌
