Agents Valerian and Laureline undergo and dangerous mission to save Alpha as STX Entertainment and Europa release the newest trailer for Luc Besson’s sci-fi adventure Valerian (or its full title Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets). View trailer below.

Rooted in the classic graphic novel series, Valerian and Laureline- visionary writer/director Luc Besson advances this iconic source material into a contemporary, unique and epic science fiction saga.Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe.

Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.

I’m actually really excited to see this movie. While this “final trailer” is relatively short (in comparison to previous ones), it does show a few new scenes, showcasing the various creatures and landscapes of Alpha that both Valerian and Laureline must traverse through. It will be very interesting to see how this movie gets received by critics and moviegoers as i have a feeling that it be either a success or a flop at the box office. Personally, I hope it’s not the latter one. Let’s hope that this movie reaches for the stars.

Valerian  (i.e. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets)  arrives in theaters next year on July 21st, 2017
