Comment on 'Jupiter Ascending' came out 10 years ago, and we're still not sure how The Matrix creators' space opera went so wrong

  With Valerian I’d say you should watch the intro. Then turn it off. Unless you feel like watching some half-baked sci-fi eye-candy. The intro sequence with humanity’s first contact and everything was beautiful and made me sniffly. The rest of the movie was pretty, kinda fun, but ultimately nowhere near as amazing as the intro.

    I had such high hopes from that intro

      Same. Like, it honestly wasn’t terrible, it was still fun and I still enjoyed it. It just wasn’t as amazing as the intro.

    Cara Delinvigne is gorgeous. I’d watch it just for her. The movie was just silly fluff.

    The power armor scene was pretty good.

    And then it ended too soon.

  Both the leads in Valerian were complete charisma voids with no chemistry.

  It could’ve launched a massive franchise

    The acting was not good, that’s for sure.

  Love watching ladies on their knees servicing a toilet.
