took too long to get to the action

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The biggest problem is the two main characters and their lack of chemistry combined with their terrible acting, but maybe that can partly be explained by the equally terrible writing and plot. I am familiar with the director and his past films, which I enjoyed far more than this, but not the source material for this movie. Maybe it is designed for pre-teens because that is the only audience I can see maybe enjoying this film. Seriously, this movie is terrible. I haven't even mentioned Rihanna and her laughable performance. Valerian is everything that is wrong with sci-fi rolled up into one big cgi mess.

The movie was really slow. Not enough action. Vibrant colors but very boring. I fell asleep

Movie was long and did not have a clear explanation of what the plot is. It was a mixture of Avatar, Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica except all the less interesting parts rolled into one bad movie. The action was mediocre at best. My 13 year old liked it but couldn't point to 1 scene that was entertaining. Very disappointed
