Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets heeft er een eerste persvisie op zitten en de reacties zijn redelijk tot zeer positief. Natuurlijk wordt het scifi-epos van Luc Besson vergeleken met The Fifth Element, maar er is meer…

The first half of #Valerian is visually stunning, gleefully inventive, unpredictable and bonkers insane….

Each sequence is filled w/ creatures & concepts you’ve never seen before. #Valerian's 2nd half becomes more formulaic, far less exciting…

Despite its problems, #Valerian needs to be experienced in 3D on the biggest screen possible. I want to experience more of this world.

#Valerian is the batsh*t kinda sci-fi, stuffed w/ wildly colorful & inventive sequences. Story is OK but some of the action blew my mind ? pic.twitter.com/WMSz1dZcoA

oh I saw VALERIAN!! it's one of my favorite movies of the year

— David Sims (@davidlsims) June 29, 2017

it's driven by the same good-hearted, humane philosophies that drove THE FIFTH ELEMENT. and every single set piece is wonderfully baroque

mixed on Valerian, BUT: this movie is god damn SPECTACULAR to look at. if you're going to fork out extra $ for 3D, do it for this.

Now that the embargo is lifted I am free to say that VALERIAN surpassed all expectations. The best blockbuster of the summer.

Dug opening sequence of #Valerian, has amazing 3D look. Flavor of FIFTH ELEMENT but not the same payoff. Luc Besson fans are gonna luv it.

#Valerian: Inventive world-building and some awesomely unique set pieces. Runs out of steam eventually, but overall a fun, worthwhile romp.
