Full of big budget imagination and visual spectacle, while occasionally coming up short with its plot and character development.

Works as sci-fi spectacle with a goofy sense of a humor, but stumbles in its on-and-off chemistry between the two leads and a very predictable plot...

A visually stunning, if overlong, sci-fi romp that’s weighed down by an uncharming dynamic between its two leads. Read more

Does provide enjoyable escapism, but it’s an example of Besson’s visionary directing rather than impactful or meaningful writing. Read more

So appallingly casted with a director’s overindulgence in style over substance on full display.

A movie that coasts on the visual expectations of a film from Luc Besson, creator of the cult classic The Fifth Element.

Vibrant and bright, throwing science fiction imagery in our faces until the cows come home. But it could use more than that. Read more

Has too much world and too much time on its hands. Spend your latter somewhere else in the former, and give this one a miss.

There are a few amusing sci-fi concoctions running around, but they’re savagely humbled by the dreadful conversations and lackluster love banter. Read more

The convoluted story, insipid characters, and piss-poor screenplay kill any goodwill that the special effects inspire. Read more

Where Valerian goes wrong would be their lack of a solid storyline mixed in with an unbelievable romance between the two main leads. Read more

Zowel DeHaan als Delevingne spelen de rollen van de agenten prima hoewel de romance tussen de twee personages niet lekker uit de verf komt.

Fijn om weer eens een film te zien die lak heeft een traditionele narratieve structuur en toegeeft aan het genot van z'n eigen fantasie. Read more
