Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Adam Graham (720) for Detroit News (2,682) on 20 Jul 2017

You come away admiring the effort while lamenting the execution, but swinging and missing is always better than not swinging at all…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Thelma Adams (133) for New York Observer (1,400) on 20 Jul 2017

In the end, Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a mixed bag: a ripe visual adventure of limitless imagination hamstrung…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Michael Gingold (56) for Birth.Movies.Death. (774) on 20 Jul 2017

It's a shame this sugar rush has no nutritional value, which becomes increasingly clear the further Valerian proceeds into its slight narrative…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Theresa Smith (147) for Weekend Special (South Africa) (19) on 20 Jul 2017

Two dimensional acting mars a beautifully realised multi-dimensional concept of a huge city filled with aliens from all over the galaxy…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Armond White (604) for National Review (314) on 20 Jul 2017

Imagine Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, etc. rolled up in one but corralled by a good director with impish humor…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Annlee Ellingson (847) for L.A. Biz (397) on 20 Jul 2017

Visually dazzling but narratively derivative and emotionally void, Luc Besson's out-of-this-world Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Tina Hassannia (118) for National Post (1,405) on 20 Jul 2017

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is colourful, multitudinous, often imaginative, but the lack of a hermeneutic world and internal…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Matthew Lickona (530) for San Diego Reader (713) on 20 Jul 2017

Utterly unreal space story from Luc Besson (he of The Fifth Element fame), who seems to have watched James Cameron's Avatar and decided he…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 20 Jul 2017

As visually splendid as his movie is, Besson's miscast DeHaan as his 'player Major,' a serious distraction in a gloriously gonzo film…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Molly Freeman (149) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 20 Jul 2017

Besson's Valerian is a visually stunning, if overlong, sci-fi romp that's weighed down by an uncharming dynamic between its two leads…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for New England Movies Weekly (716) on 20 Jul 2017

That the film feels like a ten-year-old directed it is both an accurate summation of its shortcomings and a high compliment indeed…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By Jon F (352) on 20 Jul 2017
