@buddhalou i want to give this movie more than this. It risks something. You can clearly see the "FifthElement"-ish Style, BUT (!) the movie got to many flaws.
It is just interesting, that Valerian and Laureline geting more likeable from minute to minute. But the start is just cheesy.
Luc Besson risked something, but not everything works, Especially the casting is questionable.

Watch as though a child and don't let the more annoying performances, lackluster script, and none-too-subtle social justice statements laced throughout get to you and you'll be fine. I'm not going to lie - this movie has some serious issues, but if you can reign in your expectations and just enjoy it for the visual majesty it is (and on the big screen in 3D), then you got a shot enjoying yourself.
