It is easy to forget that for every sci-fi blockbuster as Fifth element and InterstellarMuch more films fall and become a point, and sometimes it is enough for a flop to become a hit, just the passage of time. Prequely Star Wars, once hated, are now considered a classic; John Carter is a lost masterpiece and Star Trek: Nemesis is still terrible because not everything can be redeemed, but now you can say Valerian and the city of thousands of planets It is a bonafide sci-fi cult classic. Although it was played in front of empty cinemas in 2017, the film was a consistently top -of -the -line streaming player and another multi -day performance appeared in the top ten.

Liberate from monochrome science fiction

Valerian is a very different type science fiction A film that fully conceives the wild and wonderful side of the future and brings to the life of the Alfa, a huge city full of thousands of different species and easily into different dimensions spread out in space and time. Valerian (Dane Dehaan, now most famous as annoying military officer Kenneth Nichols in Oppenheimer) A Lauraline (Cara Delevingne) are partners in the United Human Federation Police when they get involved in a plot around the eradication of the plant, mul. There is betrayal along the way, John Goodman expressing the most wanted criminal galaxy and at the best cast of all time Rutger Hauer as president.

The adventures of Valerian and Lauraline will take them through exotic places that can look beautiful and evoke respect, as evidenced that science fiction may foreign. If there is something that makes the film right and contributed to its recent success, he is director Luc Besson, the same mad genius. Fifth elementHe understood how to make a visual spectacle. On the other hand, while the visuals are imaginative and, unlike anything from the last decade, the film was still a flop at the cinema box office and the total lack of chemistry between Dan and Cara is a big reason.

Bad guidance

Dane Dehaan and Cara Delevingne both performed great performances, but together there are less chemistry than channing tatum and mila kunis in the year Jupiter ascendingAnother sci-fi flop waiting for its re-evaluation. Valerian and the city of thousands of planets Despite two hydrogen hydrogen, you will not wait for a long time, and you do not have to wait long, the opening sequences explaining how Alfa has been created, doing fantastic work in establishing the right tone and explanation of high tones. Setting the concept.

Luc Besson was the perfect director for working on the adaptation of French comics Valerian and LaurelineThanks to their past work on highly conceptual movies Fifth element and Lucy. Both of these films include a strange sci-fi aspect, especially the final act LucyBut neither of them compares bombastic shootouts over the surface of a foreign world at the top of energy platforms or frequent shots that show the true range and miracle of alpha. Stay at the visionary spectacle and crouch through the dialogue.

Valerian and the city of thousands of planets Now streams to Max.
