The latest Sci Fi blockbuster for the summer is bringing in small crowds as it opened last weekend with 17 million domestically, finishing at number 5 for its opening weekend.
Luc Breeson’s Valerian and The City of a Thousand Planets unites two Comic book stars, Dane DeHaan from The Amazing Spiderman 2 and Cara Delevingne from Suicide Squad in an adventure 400 years in the future. They are special agents working to recover a lost item from a band of scavengers, Igon Sirus, voiced by John Goodman, but the item is far more valuable then expected as Agent Valerian dreams of planet Maul being destroyed by something dangerous.
Now it’s a fight to return the item to its rightful place in order to restore peace to the galaxy.
Valerian and The City of a Thousand Planets contains stunning 3D CGI that will have audiences in wonder over the realistic and virtual reality that our characters travel through. It’s so awesome one doesn’t even need 3D glasses to enjoy the experience. There is also a hint of playful romance brewing between Agent Valerian and Sgt. Laureline, though one might find it a bit on the over rushed as the two young adults try to balance their affections with that of saving the galaxy.
More over, its an entertaining movie that will have you on the edge of your seats not knowing exactly what will happen next as Valerian attempts to show Laureline that his intensions are as pure as they come. And the shocker at the end is who is really responsible for the near destruction of an entire species.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets also co stars, Clive Owen as Commander Filitt, Ethan Hawke as Jolly the Pimp and Rihanna as Bubble.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets came out in theaters, July 21 and is currently showing in one near you. If Sci Fi and romance is your forte, make sure to see this before it’s too late.
