Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) by A.o. Scott for The New York Times — 19 Jul 2017
To say that “Valerian” is a science-fiction epic doesn’t quite do it justice. Imagine crushing a DVD of “The Phantom Menace” into a fine powder, tossing in some Adderall and Ecstasy and a pinch of cayenne pepper and snorting the resulting mixture while wearing a virtual reality helmet in a Las Vegas karaoke bar.
Actually, that sounds like too much fun, but you get the idea.
