La profesión…

En el siglo XXVIII, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) y Laureline (Cara Delevingne) son un equipo de agentes especiales encargados de mantener el orden en los territorios humanos. Por encargo del Ministro de Defensa, ambos se embarcan en una misión en la asombrosa ciudad de Alpha, una metrópolis en constante expansión en la que especies de todo el universo han convergido durante siglos para compartir conocimientos, inteligencia y culturas entre sí. Hay un misterio en el centro de Alpha, una fuerza oscura que amenaza la existencia pacífica de la Ciudad de los Mil Planetas, y Valerian y Laureline deben correr para identificar la amenaza merodeadora y salvaguardar no sólo Alpha, sino el futuro del universo.

Pitch black

In the 28th century, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are a team of space agents charged with maintaining order throughout human territories. Under assignment from the Minister of Defense, they embark on a mission to the astonishing city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis where species from all over the universe have converged for centuries to share knowledge, intelligence and cultures. … [+]

I wish…I wish Valerian had been what I was looking for. It had all the elements to become the new Fifth Element, and it might even have been able to become a franchise that proved that European (and also specifically French-speaking) comics. However it is not up to such a task.

Worst of all, Valerian’s story is interesting, and the world created around it is lively and original, and it’s a shame that this is lost because of Luc Besson’s disastrous directorial work.

Lousy self-plagiarism, shameless. Luc Besson wants to emulate his acclaimed The Fifth Element, but he ends up giving us a terrible bodrio, a total disappointment, led by a teen couple with no chemistry. Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne don’t even reach the heels of Multipass Milla Jovovich and Bruce Willis, a big point against it being a space adventure movie with romantic undertones.

“A space weirdness so paid for itself that it makes ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ look like an Ozu film (…) it’s like ‘Star Wars’ is up to its eyeballs in meth and it’s so crazy it almost manages to work.”

“‘Valerian’ manages to be groundbreaking and delightfully old-school. The kind of zany, inexhaustibly creative trip that only the director of ‘Lucy’ and ‘The Fifth Element’ can deliver.”

“For the first, intoxicating 30 minutes of the film, I couldn’t decide if what I was watching was brilliantly zany or totally goofy. Then, as the story progresses, it became clearer: Valerian is an epic mess.”
