Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) - Rotten Tomatoes

The special effects in this movie among other things are worth another look. It comes out on DVD and Blu Ray around 21st of November, 2017.

I really looked forward to this one as I love Luc Besson's work (especially The Fifth Element). I even planned on zipping down to Altamonte Springs to see it in the Dolby Vision theater there (high dynamic range projection, Dolby ATMOS surround + ceiling sound, recliners - it's awesome!) but the film came and went before I could get there. I caught it in The Villages and the visuals did not disappoint. The story and characters on the other hand...

Well, I'll rent it and give it another go and see if I can think more charitably about it. It wasn't quite the world-class level of dumbness achieved by Geostorm (which also had great visuals combined with a stupid story, cliché characters, poor dialog and pretty bad acting), but it was close.

Geostorm was pretty bad. I may just check that one out with just a rental.

Geostorm isn't one I would normally have gone to see as even the trailers showed it to be pretty bad. However, I'd gotten my new MoviePass card and am trying to see just about anything that even remotely catches my interest before they wise up and cancel the program. If I'm paying $10 a month for it and seeing as many as a half-dozen first-run films on it, they have to be losing money on me!
