Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets	comment	Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Valérian et la Cité des mille planètes), shortened to Valerian, is a 2017 American/French Space Opera film produced, written and directed by Luc Besson (of The Fifth Element fame). It is based on the French science fiction comic book series Valérian, and stars Dane DeHaan as Valerian, Cara Delevingne as Laureline, Clive Owen as Commander Arün Filitt, and Rihanna as Bubble.In the year 2740, Valerian and Laureline are special operatives for the government of the United Human Federation charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner — blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him. Under directive from their Commander, Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha. Alpha's thirty million inhabitants have converged over time — uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.The film was released 21 July 2017 worldwide and on 26 July in France. The first trailer can be seen here. It holds the record for most expensive French film ever produced (budget €197,470,000, which is about $220 million).

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets / int_113480b7	type	Canon Foreigner
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets / int_113480b7	comment	Canon Foreigner: Unlike most other aliens in the movie, the Pearls are not directly based on any of the alien species in the source material (although they are possibly influenced by Shadows). Their Converter pets, though, are a faithful adaptation of a beloved character from the comics. The Kortan Dahuk, the very first extraterrestrial race seen contacting mankind in the montage of how Alpha came to be, are a completely original creation for the movie. Same goes for the Yautja-like Arysum-Kormn.

When Valerian and Laureline are forced into a hasty retreat from there, their escape vehicle also breaks one out on its roof. Both are epically ineffective against the beasty thing that Siruss sics on the heroes during the Action Prologue.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Pearls have clear parallels to both Jews and Native Americans. They are a peaceful, low-tech civilization living off the land who have 6 million of their members killed in a military genocide and now seek a new land to call their home. The situation of Bubble parallels the lives of actual illegal migrants. She is a sex worker. At some point, Valerian promises to sort out her case. The Boullan-Bathor evoke the many stereotypes of Darkest Africa, up to the servants who carry things on their heads.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers show several glimpses of various cool-looking aliens in otherworldly environments, making it seem like the story is about Valérian and Laureline traveling through Alpha and meeting them. In the movie, it turns out those glimpses are the only thing we'll ever get to see of them, as the majority of those aliens are only shown in the short montages that introduce Alpha and the Big Market, and the actual plot mostly revolves around only two alien species. The publicity talks of a plot to destroy Alpha, whereas it's actually just the Big Bad destroying evidence of a past atrocity, and the aforementioned plot is an excuse for the Big Bad to do as already mentioned.

The movie is set thirty years later and revolves around his ruthless attempts to tie up loose ends by exterminating the last survivors. The human protagonists aren't exempt either — Valerian in particular is a pretty inconsiderate jackass who seems to care little for the well-being of species other than his own.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets / int_5a40d6a	comment	Adaptation Distillation: In the comics, Laureline and Valérian are Spatio-Temporal Agents, a large part of whose job are time travel missions. In fact, Laureline was originally a woman from Medieval France who met Valérian during one of those missions, and who came with him to the 28th century. However, nothing about time travel or Laureline's past is mentioned in the movie, probably because it would've made the (already fairly complex) plot too confusing. The only small nod to that is when the computer mentions that the psychic imagery Valerian receives, actually the Pearl princess's consciousness, could have come from any point in space and time.

Laureline has the exact same armor. She also has extreme martial arts skills, and broke out of a compound full of people who wanted to keep her there just a couple scenes ago. Yet when she's captured by the Boulan Bathor, she uses exactly none of these after talking her way out (which, to be fair, was a good place to start) doesn't work. Which is, ironically, not unlike her portrayal in the original comic where, in first issues, she'd mostly sit back while Valerian saves the day, after saving his life first.

After Translation by Volume doesn't work, Laureline loses her temper and tries roaring for intimidation instead.

Not bad for a guy who appears to be in his late twenties (his actor was 30 years old during filming) and has a dangerous full-time job.

The press conference scene has an alien-looking like one of Mangalores (from the same movie). Unsurprising, seeing how both films were by the same director. Laureline tells the commanding operative "nice hat" before the mission, recreating an exchange from The Fifth Element between Korben Dallas and a would-be mugger. Igon gives Valerian the "Wherever you are, I will find you and kill you" speech from Taken — which was written by Luc Besson —, complete with Valerian answering, "Good luck." The K-Trons bear a striking resemblance to armored Mandalorians as they're depicted in Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel. At the start and finish of Bubble's dance, she bears a striking resemblance to Sally Bowles. Among the many prostitutes than Valerian encounters in Paradise Alley, one of them just so happens to be Jessica Rabbit.

Over the course of decades and perhaps centuries, aliens from all across the universe flocked to Alpha and settled there. The place is run by the United Human Federation, though it is apparently possible for humans to be kicked off the station and suffer economic sanctions if the other species wish.

When they're introduced in the prologue, their technology is more or less on the Stone Age level, with stone/bone-tipped spears being the only tools they openly wield. Thirty years later, they've developed non-lethal but very effective slime rifles, impenetrable Deflector Shields for both infantry and large vessels, spaceships that put every high-end gear at the protagonists' disposal to shame, and another spaceship that's essentially Bigger on the Inside to harbor an entire artificial biosphere including an ocean with beautiful beaches. They accomplished all this by studying a human spaceship wreck they were trapped in for several years, and with none of them ever having been in contact with anything from beyond their homeworld before.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Early in the movie, Valerian promises Laureline to take her to the most beautiful beach in the universe. In the final act, when the Pearls recreate their dead homeworld aboard their escape craft, the two of them are suddenly standing in the surf of a painfully beautiful beach completely out of the blue. Laureline is quick to remind Valerian of his promise. When Valerian first asks Laureline to marry him, she points out that he still keeps photos of his past conquests in his "playlist". At the end of the movie, he assures her that she's the only one he wants in his playlist. In their first scene together, Laureline complains that Valerian forgot her birthday. In the final scene of the movie, he presents her with a Mül energy pearl set in an engagement ring as a birthday gift. When they first reach Alpha, Laureline and Valerian ask for a status update from their AI Alex, who ends by commenting that the station’s economy is in shambles. Towards the end of the movie, we see the Pearls have been stealing technology from the Omnilight species, who run Alpha’s banks.
