It is funny that I was just watching Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets while drinking Valerian. I was pissed at Luc Besson because I just watched and reviewed The Fifth Element. That review was more of a ramble about my theory surrounding his personal life. Which ties in neatly into the message of the film “Love”. But for some reason I completely forgot to talk about its qualities. Which I suppose this review will fix. I will compare the two grand space-operas from Luc Besson. And hopefully we will learn something in the process.

    God no.

    It’s got some cool parts, but it is overall super forgettable and lame.

    I gotta read the books or whatever it came from because the world is what made 5th Element so awesome. They show you this tiny little glipse of an incredibly insane future, and I want to know more about it.
