Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

 
The quality of SFX of Avatar (2009) but a different story and setting.

The reviews I have read say it is a disaster but the trailer looks pretty with all that eye candy.
Sorta reminds me of Origin Wars: Osiris Child

Valerian received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its visuals while criticizing the plot and some of the casting. Despite the film's being a disappointment at the box office, director Luc Besson claims a sequel is still possible due to positive fan reaction.
 
dang, Valerian disappeared quick.
don't think they'll ever get their money back on that.
biggest bust since 'John Carter'?
 
I find it funny because I liked both films.
But then, I'm pretty easy on films as long as they use decent standards.
There are films I shut off within 5 minutes.
