The first reactions are in for Luc Besson’s sci-fi adventure Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and they’re not bad at all.
Based on the French comic book series Valérian and Laureline, the film stars the likes of Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen and even Rihanna. And its first reactions are mixed-to-positive, from “best blockbuster of the summer” to “OK but runs out of steam”. One thing everyone agrees on though is its “stunning visuals”. See the Twitter reactions below:
oh I saw VALERIAN!! it's one of my favorite movies of the year

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

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.

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.

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

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 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
