Basically movies where the director didn't care about logic and used that freedom to cook

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is one big plot hole riddled with plot holes and cheesy-ness to boot but I find it mildly enjoyable (yes, I know it is much panned and generally disliked).

    The intro to Valerian is amazing.

    The next scene, at Mül, was also good set-up for the motivations of the film: A humanoid species living in perfect balance with a whole, tropical-beautiful planet, which is then — predictably —

    spoilerdestroyed by an out-worlder space-battle that had nothing to do with them.

    I loved it. Visually amazing. The critics were upset because they were clearly expecting something profound, but they obviously watched a different trailer to me. Criticising Valerian and the city of a thousand planets for lacking depth was like criticising Frozen for having too many songs. It was always about the visual appeal, and it had a lot of visual appeal.
