Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets


I dug this movie. I thought I didn't know anything about it going in, even though I had bought the graphic novel much of it was based on back in high school. By the look of the condition of it, I've not removed it from its box since then. The movie was grande and beautiful and in the French tradition, somewhat inexplicable. I couldn't always tell where it was going (although it looks like Besson is starting to take on too many Hollywood traditions in his writing). Six of us went, which reclining seats and 3D on a regular night, so the evening was a heavy touch on the wallet but worth it.
