    Like most, I totally disagree. However, it had such great potential.

    I feel the same about Valerian. The imagery was pure eye candy and then I watched it, so looking forward to a great flick, and what I got was… Valerian.

      Valerian and Laureline should have been played by a young Bruce Campbell and Angelina Jolie. I will say that the two actual actors are good, but having them as those characters was the very definition of miscast.

      The setting and design in Valerian is fantastic. The opening sequence really is among the best in film. Shame about the plot and main characters.
