Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

The fate of the Universe rests in the hands of special operatives Valerian and Laureline.

'Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets' is a sci-fi adventure film by Luc Besson. Full of activity, varied characters, a very colorful and tireless imagined world, the film is fun, but maybe a little unnecessarily tiring. Interesting, but not special. Unfortunately, the main characters lack that special something (found in abundance in Lelloo or Korben Dallas from The Fifth Element) to make this worthwhile.

Director:  Luc Besson       

With: Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna

Rating: 7/10

Battleship (2012)

O flota navala trebuie sa confrunte pe neasteptate o flota extraterestra.

Blockbuster de actiune ce urmeaza retetele infailibile ale trecutului, fara acelasi succes. Explicatia vine probabil de la lungimea inutila a expozitiunii, lipsa de personaje interesante bine definite, dialogul si contextul pueril. In ceea ce priveste actiunea si efectele speciale, nu e asa de rau.

Interesant: Tadanobu Asano l-a jucat pe Kakihara (antagonistul principal) in Ichi The Killer.

Regia:  Peter Berg    

Cu: Alexander Skarsgård, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Liam Neeson, Rihanna, Hamish Linklater, Jesse Plemons, Tadanobu Asano

Rating: 6/10

High on music

nice surprise de la Rihanna (desi probabil contributia lui Justin Timberlake ca unul dintre cei 3 autori ai piesei nu cred ca a stricat) si a real nice change of pace
