So, I usually don't start threads, but I noticed there isn't one for valerian, which I just got back from. There was good there was bad. It was a thing. At least these guys look awesome. Am I gay if the dude gives me a bigger boner than the chick?
Anyone know if this is worth watching at all? Serious question. Do not want to waste money if it can be avoided.

if you can stomach nu-starwars, you'll be fine with valerian
I prepared a paragraph but then realized this movie can be summed up with three words
spy kids x horizon

It was fucking garbage.

It's a Luc Besson film, right?
Golden rule of Luc Besson, style takes precedent before substance.
I mean it's not like people watched The Fifth Element with the intent to activate their amygdala.

It looks pretty and that's literally it.

>>15721949
well I mean,
this shares that in common with most anime

I don't know what it was about this movie but something about the trailers when they started popping up on TV like a month or two ago just reeked of huge box office flop to me. Wonder if the foreign market will save it like Fifth Element.

well the geeky name doesn't help although some may have found that rendition of gangsters paradise to be majestic

What's wrong with geeky names for Sci-Fi works?
>>15721975
Nah, that's just the frogs being frogs.
Anime is the natural state of French culture.

If you want to see an over two hour long dick waving contest between costume, character and environment designers then sure.
If you want something that has a coherent plot and characters that don't act like they don't give a shit and are played by completely miscast actors that look like they're addicted to at least two kinds of drugs then nope.

I don't know what the hell they were thinking with the casting of the main duo, Valerian looks like a twink fuccboi. At least we got comic reprints and DVDs of the cartoon out of it.
