City of a Thousand Planets

Post by Graham Kennedy »



This looks cool. I loved the future Besson came up with for the Fifth Element, it had that Star Warsy feel but with a big dollop of quirkiness stirred in to make it feel original and different. This looks like it could be even better, if only because effects have moved on enough to be more imaginative.

No idea what the story is, but it's based on a graphic novel so I guess google will know...

Looks promising. I hope it can be as impressive as 5th Element was.

Hard to really say with the sound off (at work) but its visually very different. That's typical of Besson, but he can be hit and miss. I loved the 5th Element, but Lucy was just plain silly.

I'm not familiar with the source material, but the trailer makes it look like all style, no substance.
