Things have been getting better. We are not perfect by any means, there is still injustice, violence, pain and death in the world.

A lot of habitable planets need water and air to survive it's safe to say, the other planets might not have land mass like ours so the aliens DNA adapted.
@@AesirUnlimited Humans are basically just a suit filled with water to keep us alive. A suit made of skin, muscle, and fat mostly. We simply bought the ocean with us on land. That's why you need to refuel your suit with water regularly throughout the day. So not a stretch that aliens would artificially create a suit filled with water if they didn't evolve one.
Well it's a good thing I guess. Since the station has become a huge hub for different civilisations accross the galaxy to assemble, you wouldn't want it moving too fast in space so that people can still find their way there without too much confusion.
The movie says it moved 700 million miles (about as far as Saturn), but it makes it look like somewhere far beyond our solar system. Also said it grew 2% in one year - fast enough that it would be far larger than the solar system in only a few centuries. This movie doesn’t take itself seriously at ALL, and it’s better for it. If they were going for even a little bit of realism, they could have shunted the station over to L5 - still within the Earth’s orbit round the Sun, but far enough away that it could grow freely.
@@spacemiaou67 i guess, but all the aliens all traveled a lot farther just to get there, and none of them could give them boosters to go a bit faster? im sure with their smaller ships they could move fast enough to catch up to it even with a little push.
@@sjh3217 Well also the aliens that went from primitives to building their own ship in 30 years didn't make sense. also fighting near a planet that was not involved in a war either.
There's only 1 solar system lol you don't need to specify that it's earth's. Every other is called a star system or eventually the name of that star's. The Sun is the only sun in the universe. The rest are just stars. The Sun is also called Sol. We live in THE "Solar" system not A "solar system" :)
I feel like that happens a lot with big budget movies - you get one or two absolutely breathtaking, near perfect - masterwork level scenes, and then the rest of the movie is just garbage
I met Cara Delevingne aka Lauraline, very unpleasant and thought she was doing me a favor to be in her presence. The same week I met with Paris Hilton, completely different interaction. Really chill and respectful. Just goes to show, just because you got money and / or fame doesn’t buy you class. And yes I know what made Paris famous but again being nice to service workers means a lot to me as a person. A multi-billionaire being nice to a guy who makes under $50,000, I’d say earns people’s respect.
I literally wept when I got far enough into science to realize that Star Trek would never be a reality, that it wasn't a problem of technology, it was a problem of physics. Now, I'm grateful that humanity is confined to this planet, it deserves to be imprisoned here. The best evidence ever for intelligent design, the universe is child-proof, with everything out of our reach. The only thing we can hurt or destroy is ourselves.
@@logicplague media reports bad events, because bad events don't need much time and explanation. If you move into statistics, you see how much we develop, how much we improve. Poverty and nations are our greatest enemy. Poverty makes people vulnerable to follow bad people. Nations blocking leaders from taking up responsibility for this planet and all its beings.
If we stopped being mean to ourselves, it would resort in us having to find someone else to be mean to...guess who would that be... In my opinion, it is a fear and hatred of the alien that will bring and unite humans together...not understanding. After all, thats how EU, NATO or UN was created..because of fear. NATO from fear of the USSR, UN from fear of the extremism and EU from fear of both Russian military and US expansionistic market.
This opening was the best part of the movie, and really so amazingly detailed and more imagination then anything I had seen up to this point. I really wish we had stayed with the station for more of the movie
It's interesting how universal it quickly becomes- There clearly was hesitation within the alien species, but later it's accepted as "something you do to greet a human". Perhaps it became THE way to greet someone. By the standards of what could instead be a vocal greeting, breaking all barriers and simply touching one another is a sign of mutual trust and friendship.
I cant even count the number of times I've watched the first 30 minutes of this movie... always thinking, cant be as bad as I remember it, with such a great intro...
It'd be cool to see this intro sequence remade set in the TOS Star Trek universe showing how the major races of the Federation first arrive at Earth. It'd be the best 5 minutes of Star Trek made in the last 20 years. 🙂
Because the director of this Luc Besson wanted to do Valerian and Laureline and he couldnt so he made 5th element instead ... then much later he could actually do Valerian and Laureline.. so 5th Element is literally "not-valerian and laureline"
Imagine a movie with the story of this space station alone. That, in my view, is enough - it has enough potential for challenge, enlightenment and drama by itself.
Sadly it wasn’t even a plausible dream to have when this movie came out. I wish they had just made that first date say 2120 or something rather than making out that we will somehow have time to achieve international harmony and expand the international space station to be 10 times bigger in just 3 years. Sci-fi movies always have a terrible sense of how long things take.
@@leejerrett8268 In my opinion I think this is an alternate history setting where once we got to space, every country worked together on the space station and I belive unified under a world government as suggested by the flags in the background of some of the scenes.
@@AsianBoyPlayz It would have to be an alternate history setting wouldn’t it? My point it they could have just changed the dates and removed that conceit.
I want to love this move, because the universe is just so great, but the lead actors just don't fit. They also have such a great universe and story to work with and just waste time with unimportant side stories.
I watched this film in its entirely. I thought at the time that it was wierd, wonderful and destined to be a classic, although truthfully I did not understand it. I still think this. Like a masterpiece of art, it made me stop and think, which was/is perhaps its whole purpose.
I'd really encourage you to read the comics if you can manage to find english versions of these, they're great, even though some have aged a bit poorly 😊. The film was... Not always respectful of it, but also way less complexe. I do love the cycle "Métro Chatelet, Direction Cassiopée" and "Brooklyn Station, Terminus Cosmos". Beautifull ones 😊
Seriously Passengers was released around the same time, they should’ve switched leads, it would’ve improved both movies. At the very least the male leads, Dane has a creepy look that would’ve been more believable in Passengers and Chris would’ve been just a more capable version of Starlord.
Everytime I see this intro it brings tears to my eyes thinking that someday this could come true, I know that at my age I won't be around but I hope my kids can experience this one day, when you think about it why else were we created if not to help one another and live in peace.
Isn't it funny that aliens are always monolithic with each member of a species being the same, but then you got humans that are inexplicably all different languages, appearances, cultures, religions, etc? Then it's usually treated as a virtue or a good thing that this is the case, despite the fact these differences lead to intense unrest, terrorism, and war.
0:59 Oh yeah! I remember the news about the ISS suddenly being a lot bigger in 2020 and a Chinese space capsule docking on it in the middle of the pandemic. 😉
Man, I remember watching this and just being amazed as the intro was playing. Was so excited because it was so promising. And then we actually got into the movie and it was just damn atrocious. This intro was wasted on such a film.
2020 in Valerian: The dawn of a spacefaring adventure for united humanity 2020 in reality: Lockdown bitches you ain't going nowhere and stay six feet away from me, too ☹ It's wild how this scene affects me so much, like the world would be so incredible if we were actually able to work together. I don't doubt that would be the catalyst that draws the attention of other species if they're really out there.
What a great start to a film to then discover that the two main characters have poor acting ability and absolutely zero chemistry with each other. What were they thinking? Such a shame.
One of my favourite scifi movies, I really enjoyed it and whenever they air it on TV I watch it. Could have been better cutting some "comedic" scenes and focusing more on the whole society of the station, not to mention on the finale (a bit too rushed, in my opinion). Still, always a great visual experience, with so much potential for TV series, rpgs, videogames, etc.
That’s not how orbits work? If you can push the station into the unknown reaches of space, you can probably push it into a healthy orbit. The moon is quite large but not really a risk to the planet as it orbits. Maybe they were just sick of readjusting the orbit and decided it was no longer worth the trouble?
I think the comic story for this was better. Space station Alpha in it's infancy wasn't built by humans but by another unknown race thousands of years ago.
This deserved a much better movie. This scene alone proved how good this movie could be. I still don't get it. It clearly had a talented and passionate team behind it. And yet it was so awful for most of its runtime

This is one of those movies that should be turned into a tv series because of how huge their universe is.
That's why it worked well as a comic book series first. Some things just don't work well being adapted to a 2 hour movie.

Rewatching this I realized a lot of those aliens were basically sea creatures. Interesting idea from the creators.
A lot of habitable planets need water and air to survive it's safe to say, the other planets might not have land mass like ours so the aliens DNA adapted.
Would this also mean their ships would be filled with water instead of air? To fit to their aquatic needs?
@@KitsunoIRL probably not. would be a huge amount of extra mass to lug into space.

I see a lot of negative comments. I love this movie gets better every time I watch it.
The movie has some questionable artistic choices, but it's simply the fact that the two leads had zero chemistry and had no star appeal.

This is a work of fiction, and it portrays what would happen if everyone was always nice to each other.
