Had I spent $15 a seat, $10 for parking, $30 for popcorn and sodas I would have had a coronary. Glad I watched Valerian for free, anything more is stealing.
Design, costumes, CGI, sets, production are a 9. The script is good, some good banter, satire.
The two terrible tweens that play the leads have the chemistry of a three day old Dr. Pepper. Flat and sticky. the young girl walks like she is on a Fashion Week Runway and the young man is simply not believable as a seasoned combat officer. Really poor casting. The producer must be their parents. They are a 3, and that's being kind. They sucked.
The average is 6 (really a 5 but the people behind the scenes did a great job. So a 6) Had it been cast with real actors, that had charisma and some edgy chemistry, this could have been a home run. Instead, it is barely watchable. I must have paused it twenty times, go to the store, walk the dog. Not anywhere near the edge of my seat.
This could have been so much better. Instead, they went the teen idol route. Han Solo and Princess Leia they are not!
