It is easy to forget that for each science fiction blockbuster like The fifth element And InterstellarMany more films flop and become punchlines, and yet, sometimes, everything you need for a flop to become a success is the passage of time. The prequels of Star Wars, once hated, are now considered classics; John Carter is a lost masterpiece, and Star Trek: Nemesis is always horrible because everything is not bought, but now it is sure to say that Valerian and the city of a thousand planets is a classic science fiction cult Bonafide. Although he played in front of empty rooms in 2017, the film was a better coherent interpreter in streaming, making another appearance of several days in the Top Ten Max.

Free yourself from monochromatic science fiction

Valerian is a very different type of science fiction film that fully embraces the wild and wonderful side of the future, giving life to Alpha, a massive city filled with thousands of different species and easy dimensions to different in space and time. Valerian (Dane Dehaan, the best known now as boring military officer Kenneth Nichols Oppenheimer) and lauraline (Cara Delevingne) are partners of the police of the United Human Federation when taken in a plot around the eradication of the factory, Mul. Along the way, there are betrayals, John Goodman expressing the most wanted criminal in the galaxy, and in the best casting of all time, Rutger Hauer as president.

The adventure of Valerian and LAUraline makes them cross exotic places which manage to be magnificent and impressive, proving that science fiction does not have to be confined to a spaceship or to a facsimile of the earth and can rather be truly foreign. If there is one thing that the film does well and has contributed to its recent success, it is the director Luc Besson, the same crazy genius behind The fifth elementunderstood how to make a visual show. Again, while the visuals are imaginative and unlike all that is in the last decade, the film was always a flop at the box office, and the total lack of chemistry between Dane and Cara is a great reason why.

Headache

Dane Dehaan and Cara Delevingne both gave great performances, but together, the pair unless of chemistry than Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis JupiterAnother science fiction flop waiting for its turn to be reassessed. Valerian and the city of a thousand planets Succeeded despite the two tracks of the power of the visual show, and you don’t even have to wait a long time, the opening sequence explaining how Alpha has become a fantastic work to establish the good tone and explain the high setting of the concept.

Luc Besson was the perfect director for the adaptation of French comics Valerian and LaurelineThank you to his work spent on movies at high concept The fifth element And Lucy. These two films embrace the strange side of science fiction, in particular the last act of LucyBut neither of them compared to the bomb of the kilometers of fire above the surface of an extraterrestrial world above the energy platforms or frequent photos which show the real scale and the wonder of the alpha. Stay for the visionary spectacle and creak teeth through dialogue.

Valerian and the city of a thousand planets is now streaming on max.
