Not sure what you read or saw of the movie, but I respect the hell out of the fact at least he made it only 90 minutes long and it drops you right in to the action. Also, "they" are saying that the star of the movie is actually Hans Zimmers score in the movie, some of the best music he has done yet. Valerian, though I am intrigued by the director and I love his work, just seems like a bunch of CGI fluff.... I will probably end up seeing it at some point but not really all that excited, plus I would want to do it right and would have to go to Providence, RI or Boston to see it in the proper theater.
