Time for Frontier to Send a Lawsuit?

[Urbanski101]

Valerian was awful, imho. It felt like it was confused and lost, with many different elements haphazardly thrown together. There's a confusing love(?) story in it, threats by characters that foreshadow events that never happen, and just general cliche-ness that made the movie a C-list movie at best.

I fell asleep in the theater. My brother in law had to wake me up.

As far as the ship is concerned, I would buy the phooie out of the skyjet if something like it showed up in game. It looks frikkin sweet.

I was just pointing out what I saw, obviously they aren't going to send a suit. Just thought it was good food for thought. Maybe someone at Lexus plays ED [where is it]

Yes, I've heard it's not great.

Luc Besson, made some truly brilliant movies, Nikita, Leon, The Big Blue...and then that steaming turd The Fifth Element, since then it's all mainly been downhill from him which is a shame. I've not seen all of his films to be sure but I've not seen anything from him I've liked in years.

Ignoring the several obvious differences, the closest match to the Skyjet in Elite is probably the Dolphin, which FDev put into the game this year.

If anyone has the grounds to file a lawsuit, it's Luc Besson filing one against Frontier; Valerian was publicly announced over five years ago, and the artwork for it has been around since before Elite Dangerous hit Kickstarter.

Valerian(movie) never happened.

Its a pile of holy wood refuse. That place corrupts everything it touches! First they ruined Bilal's work, now this.

Also, there are myriad ship designs in Valerian ja Laureline, that others have used, and they are like from 1967.

So you can take that lawsuit, roll it up and...

Nice try but the law suit may go the other way...

Valerian comic image + movie suit. I'd say it's Bioware showing no original ideas again.

As for those who did not like it... I did, thought it was better than almost every other SciFi movie I've seen.

The movie....Kill it with fire.

Actually, Valerian predates Elite, Mass Effect, and even Star Wars. It started as a french comic series back in the 1960s.

Check your facts guys.

Still not going to see this "film" just looks awful
