Oh man, the tone of that movie is excellent. Really sorry Valerian ended up such a dud. Snow Crash with a high quality 5th element vibe would be pretty amazing.
I don’t keep up with sci-fi culture so I watched it not knowing how bad everyone thought it was. I actually really liked it in the same way I liked fifth element. I also enjoyed watching Prometheus for the same reason.
I feel when you’re aware of the zeitgeist it messed a ton with your expectations.
