Just judging by the early trailers and stills, Valerian will be heavy on memorable images and stylish action.
Besson’s The Fifth Element may not be everyone’s cup of tea but there’s no question it presented a one-of-a-kind cinematic universe and plenty of memorable characters, particularly the opera singing alien Diva Plavalaguna (to whom Dan Makta bears a passing resemblance).
Besson set the bar pretty high with The Fifth Element and people are waiting to see if he can do it again with his latest foray into epic sci-fi territory.
Right now they’re just giving everyone a taste of the world the visionary Besson has created.
