Good thing I didn't wait around to see Atomic Blonde. I would have only gotten about 10 mins into it before that all happened.

I just came back from watching Valerian and... holy cow. It's a mess.
Some things work, twice as many don't. It looks really wild and imaginative at times. Some great creature designs, some cool machinery, some very interesting color usage that sometimes gets downright garish. A messy, convoluted plot and a few scenes of hamfisted exposition dumps. An extended scene with some dimension warping of sorts where the logistics of how the whole thing works were just too obtuse. The story was generally weak, which really hurts the film. Some of the comedy was hilarious. Some of it cringeworthy. The funniest scene involves two giant lemon halves and a very big hat. Really. I liked the interesting casting choices and I liked the two leads more the further I got into the movie: There's also a weird dance scene of sorts with Rihanna of all people. I liked that scene a lot, but it felt completely shoehorned into the movie. I don't even know what to make of this movie yet. It was a real emotional rollercoster in all sorts of good and bad ways. ???/10. |

Didn't the lead actress from Valerian just get sentenced to prison for making her boyfriend kill himself?

I just read a bit about it and it's a weird case. It really stretches the definition of manslaughter to the breaking point. Kind of crazy to go with that ruling, even though her actions seemed pretty cruel.
