LUC BESSON!!!! But no sequels. That ain't Besson's style. At best this is kind of a Fifth Element sequel stylistically and thematically but that is about as close as Besson would probably get to a sequel. Who knows though maybe he will surprise me

It may have influenced Lucas into the space genre but other than the fact they both take place in space how was Star Wars based off of Valerian?

STARTINGSOMESHIT star wars is not based on this , this a great story but no comparison to star wars

That my friend goes to John carter...

Googl Accoun I saw a Young Mark Hamill from Star Wars with dark hair

he looks like a young leonardo di caprio addicted to meth

he also does look a bit like harry styles

too bad he single handedly ruined this movie...he is a terrible actor.

blackfox1320 Whaaat? I thought he was great and so was Cara Delevingne, which was a surprise...

Skylar Lowtower the music is shit!

LIQUID SNAKE Excuse you? David Bowie is nowhere near to be shit, you piece of shit.

.-. The music is not shit

Skylar Lowtower I watched the movie and it was fucking awful. Valerian is most unlikeable protagonist ever in pop culture.

Skylar Lowtower Cara's aight, shes okay.

It was good

YES!!! that's exactly the movie i was trying to think of , well at least the two main character acting. it's two children pretending to be adults

Dane DeHaan is too skinny and small for a man, miscast

Not really.

This is nothing like Shark boy and Lava girl. Shark boy and Lava girl takes place in the present, Valerian takes place in the future. Shark boy and Lava girl is about dreams, Valerian is about space. Shark boy and Lava girl is about kids, Valerian is about adults. Shark boy and Lava girl has dream powers, Valerian has guns. Shark boy and Lava girl has dream creatures, Valerian has aliens.

was meaning the shitty actors

the artist of Valerian, Jean-Claude Mezieres actually did the concept art for the Fifth element! The director loved Mezieres work and designs which is why its similar to Fifth Element, bc Jean-Claude designed a lot of it!

Star Wars,Star Trek,Guardians of The Galaxy comics any fantastic sci fi adventures that you have heard and read about emanated from this french comic series

I'm pretty sure Jean Giraud (Moebius) did the concept art for 5th element...

Malfehzan moebius did some (most films have multiple artists) but the largest influence and designs were from mezieres, you can see his art on google for it! Him and Moebius were close friends tho too which is really cool

Oh, I know him from countless Métal Hurlant / Heavy Metal serials. Moebius was the name I remembered being bandied about but he sure wasn't alone. :) (And Bilal had a share in this influence circle)

Valerian is the most beautiful space movie ever.

@@tonyblank Can you recomment any other

@@tonyblank still waiting for valerian 2 :I

​@@Jdomi Or Valerian or another movie so cool.

@@Jdomi never gonna happen. This movie bombed hard at the box office, so it pretty much killed any chance for a sequel, which is pretty sad, since this is a pretty interesting take from the graphic novel series. It wasn't a bad movie, per say, but it wasn't all that good either.

Yeah but it's hugely reliant upon CGI, which appears to be of a poor quality. Also the new stars films have been awful, I fell asleep in the last one. As a regular cinema goer, I've only ever fallen asleep in one other film: A Good Day to Die Hard. People want quality (Guardians of the Galaxy) not quantity (the new Star Wars films).

Don't you get it, people are never satisfied anymore. You wouldn't believe how many "shitty cgi" comments this movie gets lol

Honestly, the disappointing part is that it IS based on a graphic novel, AGAIN! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love those movies, in general at least, but I'm kinda tired that Hollywood can't seem to hire writers, they just take stuff that are already been written and adapt it on the big screen. For once I'd like an ORIGINAL sci-fi movie! Or fantasy movie! Or heck, Hollywood, why don't you create your own originial team of superheroes? And by original, I also meen "good", obviously. Not the Jupiter Ascending or, worse, Passengers, we got. But, like I said, I applaud those two movies for at least being original stories, not based on anything written before. Seems like that's rare nowadays... :(

Almost every sci-fi movie you love has been based from this graphic novel. Yes, I'm talking about Star Wars and Star Trek. Most likely Guardians of the Galaxy also. @charles15 This is for you also.

Hear Hear!

gadekar shiva ikr

how does anything in this movie look realistic at all

gadekar shiva cgi* (graphics is for games

its only for the trailer, they always tone it down on release

uh oh

I loved it!

I mean we all know how people ripped into John Carter for "copying Star Wars Episode 2" when in fact the exact same thing happened there...

Das anyone know if would be Valerian 2?

But star wars was not popular because of the carbonite. It was populair because of the great effects, likebale characters, complex villans and so much more.

Star wars is better

It's straight up dumb to think that Valerian actually copied Star Wars lol like both are completely different.

Good joke - even the trailer sucks!

That relation, that broke the whole thing. They had a fabulous SF-movie but they knew real SF is only for SF-fans, you need to add something extra to attract a wider public. So it became a playful teen romance too, which probably puts off the SF-fans.

Right? There mere trailer has Galadriel as the narrator. That's how epic this movie is :P

i am the space & alien fans, i agreed with you

He's great but imagine Adam Driver *swoon* Kylo Ren vibesss yesss

There aint no wa- i thought he was Damn 18

Think he perfectly fit in there...Harry Styles would´ve been great, as well.

that is a blessing my girl !!

Real levi

its actually backwards ... the fifth element was inspired by Valerian commics ... like almost every big bucks sci-fy movies like star-wars, avatar, 5th element and many many more.

Forrest Farris Spot on, that's awesome, how did you notice that anyway? Was it on a trailer rewind or something?

Forrest Farris how the fuck

Well done

Forrest Farris ooh nice catch

Well Mezieres was a designer on the Fifth Element. Was your dad some kind of religious nut?

stereomike111 how does him watching fifth element make his dad a religious nut lmao, and yeah the director of fifth element also directed this I think he knows that.

cherry c. I'm obviously talking about his dad covering his eyes. Also not talking about the director but the comic artist.

+Dark Portal - Excellent comment, I like it.

Soooo did you like it?

Perfectly said. That's how I wanted to put it. It was visually the most beautiful and stunning film I have ever seen. It is the most amazing "world" I have ever seen created in film.

+D.P.Tallin Thanks for your amazingly worded comment, I fullheartedly agree, as a long-time fan of the comic book series the movie is based upon. The author of the "Valerian and Laureline" series was stunned by the movie as well!

Caaro

iam groot

The women doing the voiceover is Elizabeth Debicki who also plays the golden lady in Guardians of the Galaxy

It's has someone from amazing Spider-Man movie it's Harry Osborn

Hate to break it to you

Karl J 😂😂😂😭

It's not.

Joker Harley`s Channel of Randomness you have to be kidding me. When I first saw this trailer months ago, I laughed! It just looks like another CGI, poorly written, cringed acting movie. These two actors have been in over hyped movies that do below average acting. City of a thousand planets? Seriously? Clearly thats a hint this movie is an awful joke.

pdmrn looks like a 46 year old with AIDS

Isn't this too juvenile for him? I cringed at the line, "I taught him that"!

Why should a creator be confined to a certain style of content? Though it's not my cup of tea, it paid off for Robert Rodriguez when he made Spy Kids. Besson may be targeting a different demographic, but it still might be a fun flick.

I be more than willing to if they didn't use emo children actors.

Jeremy Cooper casting was shit, true

Jeremy Cooper look up Dane dehaans age

Nononono if you're looking for Dane Dehaan movies u better watch Chronicle and Kill Your Darlings because those two movies are the ones that made me very much obsessed with Dane.

+Fortkas You won´t regret collecting the comic book series the movie is based upon, and you will meet many places and scenarios the movie was alluding (and extrapolating upon in a fascinating and at times moving ways!) to in these comic books. They have been around since the late 70´s, when I first discovered them, and they have never not amazed and amused me since then. Very visionary, exciting, humoristic and visually stunning (in a light, playful and very French way). Best wishes!

it have WAY to much cgi focus and the chases were out of tune. A movie need more than effects to hock your intrest. Story, the ability to connect to the character just to mention 2 things matter more. Look at the original jurassic park which does have cgi but for most parts is built sets as well as robot models for the dinosaurs come to mind....that came out in 1993 and it still looks great. If the trailer is all this movie got to offer it will stink worse than ghostbusters 2016 or jupiter returns. For a great sci fi look at firefly ( cult tv series ) or the movie serenity. Another good option would be the starwars movies and the impact they have had. Jupiter returns....can't even put the impact from that movie on the map. Not that it were a complete stinker but try to find a decent fanbase for that one...I wait here. Edit, actually another poster in another thread under this trailer gave this comment on the matter "two words...john carter". I think that says it all really.

I did not deliver for me at all!!

Strange the Reader The movie was really good

MovieFan 77 was it really good lol? I have heard very negative reviews about this movie

The movie had more than effects... it had so much detail and so much creativity. The story was pretty straightforward and the actor playing Valerian could have been a little better, but I had a really good time with the film. :D

I think fifth element got inspired a lot of those comics already, so this could become something amazing.

Mezieres, the artist of the Valerian series (written by Christin), was hired by Besson to do the art design of the 5th Element, so it's more than being 'inspired' by the series (Besson was a fan as a boy and wanted that movie to look like it).

Oh shit, you read my mind dude :v

I effing love this comment

If there should ever be produced a live action version of SNK and Dane does NOT play Levi i will jump off a cliff, he would be so perfect in the role in my opinion

Omg ur right

Thats the Dane Dehaan 🤪❤️

Daath 301 so ... You must have never heard of Jake Paul ? ... * *FACEPALM* *

That would be London. Probably I'd end up seeing the film because of the visuals, but I have no hope whatsoever that I'm going to be entertained. All reviews say that the plot is a mess and that there's no chemistry between the two main characters. Sigh. So many millions invested but they couldn't invest five minutes and five cents into creating a good story.

Soon it'll be the city of thousands of bankrupcies after Brexshit :)

god damnit the memes invaded this too

Hue hue hue

Hannan Syed THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. WTF

Hannan Syed spy kids are fun and great concept yet I don't see this gonna be those fun

Hannan Syed the guy who plays valerian is 31 years old

wth @smail

Definitely bad. Such a high production value movie and they decide to give the lead role to a fucking model...

Yup. Probably loaded with special effects and millennials doing cool things in slick places, but burdened by a horrible script , mammoth plot holes and a senseless story.

hey the same director gave mila jovovich a chance and she was a model. Now she's main actor of resident evil franchise. (not saying those movies are good) but they director gave them a chance.

or maybe it's just a average movie

Преслава Ганова i saw you in both trailer 😂

Are you special needs?

cause everyone was busy watching dunkirk

yeah i cant say how she was in this but eyebrow's girl had a laughable performance in suicide squad, i mean that could arguably be more about the writing/character/directing but she seemed to be more interested in looking sexy than acting, like dude i got porn i dont care

they tried to sexualise her in this movie too, she wore a bikini for the first 40 minutes for like no fucking reason what so ever i- dont waste your money folks it was an catastrafuck of a movie - awful, confusing plot, awful characterisation and they mugged off rihanna big time

Larry The Mighty Eagle I went to the cinema with my friends and there was only one person other person there

snAtched I mean I like movies with a confusing plot it makes you want to be more curious to find out what's actually going on. Having simple plots are too expecting and are repetitively cliche and I hate movies like that tbh.

but it actually does look like this....

i don't know, i think people actually look like people here.

Jude Ceant I actually meant the diversity of the alien species, all MEA gave us new is Angaaran and the kett, seriously when you are going to a whole new galaxy wouldn't there be at least ten(for eg) new species. it's colourful the action sequences are great, but still for a new galaxy what they gave us in Andromeda is nothing.

it is not the whole andromeda Galaxy. its just some tiny part of it. there are no mass relays in it so you could travel everywere. but some more would be nice indeed.

Kadahsh ajay then be more specific in what you say otherwise you sound ignorant

Ondra Popela u were one of the extras?

Most visually stunning film I have ever seen.

Exactly! :D

OMg he does

who is that

Sonja B He's a character from an anime called Attack on Titan

Levi and Mickasa are supposed to be Asian. He however would be AN AMAZING Eren Yeger :3

Red Unicorn I have my fingers crossed.

LOL I want to watch this but I hate the leads already. maybe if I watch with the sound off..

Chong Louis she hot asf

sheep

Christos Soteriou Had watched disappointing movies based off books but I'd give it a shot :) the guy is a really good actor and this is different from his usual roles so I'm excited for this.

Totally agree. The two leads are just not likeable... at all.

Luc Besson is amazing. I love strong female leads and all the work I've seen of his. Leon is one of the best films ever made. The trailer hasn't clicked with me yet. I'm still reeling from how terrible Elysium was despite how great the trailer looked

The casting was weird but if you look at them as different characters than in the comics it's more enjoyable

and you were right

Sami Shamroukh idubbz im gay

hahaha yah
