RE: The Sixth Element? Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Video Review)
@donkeypong - Hmm. As soon as I read the title, my mind did draw parallels to the 5th Element. I do love visual effects but am kind of fed up of the lasers poking me in the eye in recent 3D movies. I certainly do not want purple jellyfish tingling my nostrils.
3D has become kind of 'dr.fixit' for all shortcomings as you have correctly pointed out.
I would be freaking out within first 10 minutes of the movie if I saw those wooden expressions for one more minute! Aarrgggh. They are worse than models' expressions during a ramp walk.
Worst of all - instead of the Chris Tucker with attitude, I get to see a Turbaned tour guide? I see enough of those already in real life - Thank you!
Thanks for this comprehensive review (and heads up). Will avoid watching even as a re-run! LOL
Upvoted full.

You wouldn't believe it. Their chemistry was just soo off. It was ridiculous...
"Wooden expressions" is a good way to put it. They held them for almost the entire movie.
Seriously, you said my mind. They now cover so many loopholes with 3D. I mean, what the hell!!!
I'm all for good writing, nice plots, compelling dialog and excellent delivery. I don't give a damn about 3D or whatever D they choose to use.
did you watch Moon?
I can only say thank you for making sure that I’m not watching this film at all now, excepting maybe when it’s on Netflix and can serve as a pretty muted background collage of images, but dayum, that’s a lot of votes for a movie review which is incredibly consistent with the general feelings about valerian. For me to get such votes at this point in time I believe I would have to write the seventh element, or at least seven minutes abs. But it is POS after all, and you are donkeypong. I’ll take this over bitcoin and Satoshi rolling around in her grave. Love, Alx
