RE: The Sixth Element? Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Video Review)

in #movies7 years ago (edited)

For me the characters and plot are a must, unfortunately very few sci-fi movies are blessed with such "details" nowadays. I quickly get bored of only visual stuff, no matter how entertaining.
The Ruby character from the Sixth Element was hilarious btw :) I hope they will make movies of that caliber in the future because I'm kind of losing fate in the sci-fi genre, even though I like it a lot.

Sort:  

I felt like the characters were really unbelievable... like the protagonist... he was supposed to be an unpredictable "bad boy." He did not sell it at all.

Agreed, very unconvincing indeed

He behaved like some random college kid they found on the street. Elite agent my butt.

Science fiction is the chief role of our dreams!! @donkeypong @jasonyoakam

That's how I feel also. I love scifi, but it's become so lazy overall. There aren't many decent storylines or characters.

I wasn't asking you but watch it regardless to see how a low budget can still produce good sci fi

I don't think so.

please do, it's low budget sci fi thriller/mystery at its finest

Thanks for the suggestion re: Moon. I was just jokingly complaining about not having an alternative after reading this review :)

@donkeypong I just watched this movie and Hollywood directors sadly needs to go away and do some soul searching. Their tired story lines , abuse of CGI plus always wanting to copy the avatar or whatever blockbuster movie is irritating. That's why i truly wish TRX Coin would fund movies from young directors with a fresher ideas for movies.

Do you like marvel movies too? sir @donkeypong ?

I am right there with you, I really miss the 70s style sci-fi, (pre-star wars)
where they had great dystopic stories that were usually depressing.

Modern Indecent and Foreign sci-fi films are sometimes really good if you can overlook the issues that come from filming with a small budget.

Nothing beats Le Planete Savage in psychedelic dystopia. Second place goes to Gandahar. Third to Zardoz. Fourth to Logan's Run.
