In the Century XXVIII, the space station Alpha is a city where
beings from different planets live together exchanging their knowledge and
culture. Peace is granted by a human force, including Major Valerian and his
partner Sergeant Laureline. They are assigned by the Defense Minister to
retrieve the last species of converter in a dangerous mission. They succeed and
back to Alpha, unknown humanoids abduct Commander Arun Filitt expecting to
steal the converter. They head to a forbidden area that is infected but
Valerian and Laureline follow them and disclose a hidden secret about the race
and the infected area. Written by Claudio

Having been wowed by the trailer VALERIAN: City of a
thousand planets made it to my list of films to see in the theater. As much as
that never materialized I had to catch it once it appeared on Netflix. Upon
watching it I was amazed at the scape this film created. Of course I know this
was a film made from the content of a graphic novel I was enthralled. In many
sci-fi films I am either overwhelmed by its vastness or wanting more of a back-story,
but I felt VALERIAN did a great job of both creating a clear focus as well as
showing how incredibly diverse the film or VALERIAN story line could be. So for
VALERIAN: City of a thousand planets I give it 4 stars of 5.
