Oh man, the tone of that movie is excellent. Really sorry Valerian ended up such a dud. Snow Crash with a high quality 5th element vibe would be pretty amazing.

Valerian had so much potential, and its intro sequence is one of the best I've ever seen.

I still enjoyed it though, it's no so bad that it's unwatchable, ,just a let down from what it could have been.

I don’t keep up with sci-fi culture so I watched it not knowing how bad everyone thought it was. I actually really liked it in the same way I liked fifth element. I also enjoyed watching Prometheus for the same reason.

I feel when you’re aware of the zeitgeist it messed a ton with your expectations.
