Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) by Brent_Marchant — 22 Jul 2017
Simply put, a big, fat, bloated, incredibly overlong snooze. This poorly written, frequently trite and shamelessly derivative alleged action-adventure saga sapped most of my interest out of me about 20 minutes into its nearly 2.
5-hour runtime. To make matters worse, this needlessly episodic trial of one's patience features abysmal casting (save for a few supporting players irretrievably trapped in their thankless roles), special effects that seem to exist largely for their own sake and a woefully inadequate back story that cripples the picture almost from the outset.
Avoid this one if you possibly can.
