    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Amazing world building and visuals that was destroyed by terrible casting and wooden acting.

      It’s based on a comic series so we can read that at least

      The box art put me off thisnone, but skimming the plot and it reads like an amazing visual spectacle. Might watch this one

        This was the movie I immediately thought of.

        It’s a terrific LOOKING movie, but the two leads had absolutely no chemistry. At first I couldn’t figure out if they were partners, spouses, dating, brother & sister, etc.

        The production design was spectacular, though.

        The film opening is the best part, and honestly one of the best openings to a movie ever. It’s such a shame the rest of the movie is hindered by the awful writing and casting.

      Still definitely worth watching if you ask me, but yeah those main characters are… Not amazing.
