It will make maybe twenty million dollars opening weekend, thirty at most

Besson should make sequels of his successful movies instead of losing millions on these

>>82692374
It's like based off a foreign comic book. But it will still bomb, especially when the leads are two people no one really likes or takes seriously, in the given role

>>82692728

>>82692374
I honestly hope it doesn't fail, because I want more movies with a similar aesthetic. But I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to be trash.

>>82692731
Nobody gives a fuck about Besson's older work. I mean I know and have seen arguably his best work, and even I don't really want sequels. The white avatars and overuse of CGI will kill this, just like it's killing King Arthur, a movie I'd unironically like a sequel to.

Looking forward to this but its almost a guaranteed flop.

Saw the trailer when I saw gotg. Some of the cgi looked cool, other than that it looks pretty bad.

Dane DeHaan and Cara are not blockbuster movie material. See: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Suicide Squad.

Its a CG cartoon with a bunch of real actors awkwardly greenscreened in
And your two main characters are charismatic black holes
Nobody really cares about these "huge CGI spectacles" anymore, everyones seen it a million times in capeshit arleady.

However it looks exactly like something the chinks would love so they could save it but this has failure written all over it.

The real tragedy is the comics it's based on have a fun, light comic style to them, with plenty of lived-in ships and planets similar to classic Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy and the movie is as generic as fucking possible, looks like they sucked all the joy out of the source material and cast two charisma vacuumes as the leads.

>>82692374
very badly. it might suck, but I'm glad it exists. same with lucy and recent wachowski's output

not everything has to make complete sense and be meticulously crafted to avoid criticism about irrelevant plot holes. I just want to see directors express themselves first and foremost. a flawed movie is better than a forgettable safe movie

I feel like if the fifth element came out today people would hate it. it's kind of upsetting really. all these hugely popular fantasy/capeshit/whatever franchises and people get upset when movies dare to actually be fantastical or crazy

>>82699276
>I feel like if the fifth element came out today people would hate it.
I actually unironically hate it since day one. It felt like sci-fi for normies who hate sci-fi.

Pretty bad.

It's a shame that a literal /tv/ poster is going to start in two of the biggest bombs of the year that also are apparently very interesting, possible future cult films.

Plus it's weird someone from /tv/ got to kiss Cara.

Anyway, it's huge budget, won't connect with Americans at all, and it's getting released by a small company (who have come in at the last minute because Besson's own company fucked up distribution).

Oldfags might remember that the Fifth Element had a ton of hype among movie nerds but was pretty much DOA at the U.S. box office when it came out.

pic related - I miss practical effects.

>>82692629

It's not a Hollywood film (hence the zero hype). It's French.

It's Luc Besson. What do you expect.

>>82692511

It's got great source material and Besson might be able to pull one out of the hat. The trailers are decent.

Like...It's not the 90's anymore, but Besson also didn't go completely full blown incompetent retard straight away like the Wackhowski "Siblings".

Plus Jupiter Ascending look hideously bad from the trailers (like John Carter) and this looks okay.

I expect it to do even worse at the box office though.

>haven't heard of it until last night
>releases in less than two months

It's DoA

>>82692374
they don't look even remotely interested on that fucking picture

well, i suppose they did a good job at picking two people who somewhat look like siblings. the guy looks like he's preparing for a sex reassignment operation and cara looks like a tranny anyway. so they kinda meet somewhere in the middle.

also
>those fucking eyebrows

>>82699587

Nowhere good left anymore.

/tv/ used to be "better" but as you can see from this thread it's 99% /co/, /v/ and /reddit/ now.

Hence unironic threads about Marvel films and people who literally have no idea what they're talking about.

>It felt like sci-fi for normies who hate sci-fi.

It was literally the opposite.

It was blatant plagiarism though. Which is why I was quite happy when Besson recently got sued and BTFO by John Carpenter for his flagrant thefts.

So, obviously it's not hard sci-fi. But it IS heavily derivative (lol inspired) of classic 70's Sci-Fi art and artists and soft Sci-Fi fiction that was hugely influential and popular.

I mean, I dunno, maybe we have different definitions. I wouldn't call Moebius and Co. Normie Sci-Fi, but maybe I'm just a disgusting normie.

>>82696303
Yeah, it could be "City Within the Moon" levels of bad.

>>82699058
>male lead at least superficially resembles the guy in the comic
>female lead can't be arsed to even dye her hair, much less cut it

>>82699798

Except ugly and flat

Neither of those two actors look appealing, or capable of carrying a film. The guy looks like a beta male that gets his lunch money stolen, and the chick looks like a fucking tranny.

It does look visually lovely, though.

>cara delameme is in it
itll bomb hard

>>82692374
they could switch each others armors and the difference would be barely noticeable.

>(Character's Name) and the (Macguffin or Place)

Unless it's Indiana Jones, that titling format is an instant flop flag.

>>82699927
The visuals aren't that much of a problem. It's like Terry Guilliam meshed with 90's popculture (which is a lamer, washed-out version of 80's popculture). But I just can't force myself to like the intentional overacting of pretty much all characters. I mean, shit, even Chris Tucker overplayed himself in that movie.

>>82700170

The visuals are almost literally copies of classic 70's sci-fi art. I mean to the point where it was suggested he be sued (and as I said, was later successfully sued when he went after American works rather than French works).

>intentional overacting

Interestingly I fucking hated the Christ Tucker stuff when I first saw it when it came out, but like it now, just because of how stupid it is.
