RE: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets: a movie I wished I'd had hallucinogens for

in #review7 years ago

I like your review. I also saw the movie, and I thought it was great. I was not familiar with the comic books, but was still able to follow along. The only problem that I had with the movie was the detour when they went after the memory sucking jellyfish. It really wasn't clear to me what that was all about, and how she was able to get his memories by using the jellyfish. I thought that whole sequence was quite long, and went on for quite a bit. Other than that, I thought that the movie was great including the excellent use of the 3D effects. Most 3D movies today don't really make good use of the 3D effect, but this one really did. The only other thought I had is that the trailer for this movie really wasn't that good. If you remember, it mixes up the order of events so much that it looks like the pearls are telling the main character that the agents were brought there to save their world. In some sense they actually were, but the order of the events is so confused in the trailer that it really looks like a different story than it actually is.
