Valerian Is the Most Expensive Film in French History

Looks like shit, luc besson fucking biggest fraud since Roland emmerich

>>81502806
wot

Can't wait to watch this in theaters

It looks incredible, but I guess it better for $250 million. I don't think it will do well sadly.

I take Valerian when I have to go to sleep.

If this was made by James Cameron it would make a billion at least. There'd probably also be a new tripfag that's obsessed over it

I wonder if Dane still posts here.

Yeah, but just like Jupiter Ascended it's going to be a mess of talentless actors and horrible script writing and directors who can't direct worth a shit.

But it really wasn't half-bad. In fact, if you just eliminated Kalique (the female Abrasax) and combined Titus and and Balem Abrasax, this would be a very concise and well-put together "chosen one" story.

I did think some of the humor from Jupiter's awe of being "thrust into royalty" got really trite, and the chemistry between her and Caine wasn't exactly given enough time to become believable, but the movie was visually beautiful to look at and all of the actors performed competently given what character types they were supposed to be.

Particularly, I found Eddie Redmayne's maniacal totalitarian with mommy issues to be very well-done, a superior attempt at Javier Bardem's similar character in Skyfall. And the space battles were fucking glorious to witness in theaters. But you could actually see what was going on throughout them unlike similar movies which have trouble keeping the objects of importance in the frame for longer than a second.

I give it 6/10, maybe a 6.5. Not as good as Cloud Atlas, but the Wachowskis have proven themselves capable of making an entertaining, immersive fantasy movie yet again.

>>81503484
>great ideas
Perhaps, but after most of them were already used in Matrix and Cloud Atlas they were already kinda stale. Wachowski seem to be really struggling with not ending up as one trick ponies.

Great palette of colours and interesting organic environments, but the designs of the cities aren't that great. If they wanted Avatar numbers, they should have shown more naturalistic areas.

>>81502548
>Valérian was created by Mézières and Christin as a reaction to the fearless boy-scout (e.g. The Adventures of Tintin) and American superhero characters that were prevalent in comics available in France at the time. Instead they sought to devise a "banal character" with "no extraordinary means of action".[7] Eventually, with Christin feeling that they had gone too far with this angle and that the Valérian character had become too stupid...
this would have been a perfect role for Seth Rogen.

>>81504226
Visually and from the design point of view it was astounding. Now, if only there was a less cliche plot to go with it. I haven't read Valerian. But I hope Yuropoor capeshit is less formulaic than Murrican.

>>81504111

What was the first

The budget has got to be some tax evasion horseshit, there's no way they could have blown that much on it.
I'll watch it when it's out on BD, seems kinda fun.

This looks great. I am hype but not sure about the leads.

Looks like it will be a great movie. No idea if I am going to watch it in cinemas though.

I wish I knew more about the source material to get hyped but apparently this is what inspired Star Wars and many other sci fi stuff

>>81506055

This is a kind of dumb thing to say. What they mean is "you see 200 different costumes in the flick because we let our designers go nuts and didn't call for any consistency between designs".

200 alien species might as well be 0 alien species because if you never elaborate on what makes them different from us, they might as well be humans in fancy hats.

The only good part is when they escape the giant black underwater hydra. Now I wish for a horror movie with the intensity of "Life", but based on agoraphobia and megalophobia - about tiny humans stranded in an alien ocean full of monstrous Leviathans.

I'm familiar with the comic, but until just now I was completely unaware that Pierre Christin created it. Could be because I'm mostly familiar with Christin through his cooperation with Enki Bilal. They really should make a TV miniseries of "The Falanges of the Black Order". (Les
Phalanges de l'ordre noir).

At least Chris Pratt or Sam Worthington have some of the physique that Valerian should have. He's not supposed to look like a geek stoner for god's sake, and Laureline should be played by conventional supermodel-looking actress, not the one supermodel that's famed because of her non-conventional boyish looks.

I'm sure the person who did the casting feels proud because of the subversion of the roles, but it isn't clever.
