Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | July 21, 2017 | FLOP OF THE YEAR

[CoolioD1]

it's just up its own ass enough, and the action is just incoherent enough for the movie to land directly in the centre of the venn diagram of the futurist's and my own taste.

I liked Lucy. But I also like a lot of other bad movies so... you know.

[IronJimbo]

Wait the same guy who directed The Fifth Element directed Lucy, how is that possible?

[The Futurist]

I love when people trash the science of movies like Lucy & Interstellar, it almost look these people forgot the fiction part of the SF.

Avatar is Science Fiction

 

Star Wars is space fantasy

 

Hope this clears everything up.

Fith Element is my favorite Besson film. 

 

I thought Lucy was decent enough. 

 

Valarian looks interesting. 

[The Futurist]

Fifth Element had one of the biggest movie star ( remeber those ?) of its time.

 

Valerian has an english model, social media star & a Spiderman villain.

 

[That One Girl]

Putting Fifth Element and Lucy right next to each other as headliners for a director is like if there was a Francis Ford Coppola movie and it went like this:

 

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE GODFATHER.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...AND JACK.

I think Fifth Element and Lucy are about equal. Fifth Element is sprawling, glorious, stupid fun; Lucy is tight, deceptively smart pure pop. For what it's worth, Lucy has a higher metascore...by 9 points. Fifth Element had to grow into a sort-of classic; Lucy will grow as well.

[Dementeleus]

LUCY.... deceptively smart?

 

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

[RobinHood26]

Lucy makes my bottom 50 all time list probably. 

[shayhiri]

The Shay barfed after watching Lucy.

 

And then barfed once again, checking its BO and seeing how many fools parted with their money to see it.

 

Mind you, that is the same Shay who likes saying that "80% of all people are just stupid, statistically". But it still took me by surprise, somewhat.

I saw this trailer in 3D before Passengers, 2ce.  It was mindless but a guilty pleasure, visually with the music.  Off the top of my head, the only other trailer I remember was Beauty and the Beast, and there were a lot more than that. I don't know if I will see it in theaters, but I am interested.

I think it's as smart as a piece of pure popcorn gets, actually.

Imagine if you could access more than 10% of your brain?  Then you'd understand.  And then...turn into a USB port.

I enjoyed Lucy

Quote

The $200 million sci-fi epic has analysts worried that a flop could torpedo his storied EuropaCorp, even as a new pact with STX provides breathing room (and an escape from troubled Relativity Media) for now.

 

Budget is really $200m, uh-oh.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Lucy was wonky, nonsensical fun.

And this one's up there with Okja and Cure For Wellness in my five most anticipated of 2017.
