    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (film)

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Cool, a film packed to the brim with CGI and generic set pieces. Can't wait.

    I definitely felt some Fifth Element vibes in there! Ned has a valid point about the CGI, but with films these days it's inevitable and with that added bonus of Besson's destinct, almost goofy style, I'll definitely be seeing this.

    Cool use of "Because" too. I don't recall ever hearing Beatles in film trailers, strangely...

    Did I spot Rhianna in there?

    Just found out about this film 15 minutes ago and was somewhat intrigued, so I'll give it a whirl.
