Valerian and the city of a thousand planets (2017) ***

This was quite good as sifi goes, though I was annoyed with the visual indulgence. Sure, this was made for 3D but a lot of material was there clearly for the view and without adding anything at all to the film (except runtime). I thought the story had enough quirky details to make it 'not just another sifi. Yawn' but it wasn't all that original. I thought DeHaan gave an excellent performance as cocky asshole and I loved how badass his partner was... and this is where the problems start: the film was so incredibly misogynistic. I was praying for him not to get the girl because it objectified her in the worst way (she was already physically perfect enough to hurt my eyes).
Anyway, the CGI work was very good. At least nothing looked jarringly computer-generated, so points for that.
Can anyone explain why Rhianna was in this? (another filler)
So, yeah, a mildly entertaining 3/5
