This sci-fi story is certain a credit to Star Wars. Legend has it that Valerian was what influenced George Lucas first. It's a comic book story come to life, so there's a lot of history to cover.
Dane DeHann and Cara Delevingne stars as Hans and Leia (er, Valerian and Laureline) who are tasked to go find the mysterious force that is threatening their space world. It's a complicated Christopher Nolan-esque plot, so of course you find the familiar of The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, and Blade Runner. And it wouldn't be reminiscent of Blade Runner without Rutger Hauer who plays the Federation President.
Nice subplot involving Rihanna (Bubble) and Ethan Hawke (Jolly). One of the better parts.
Good lead casting - Dane and Cara reminded me of Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow.
