I'm ashamed to say that I've never gotten around to watching this film. It's one of those, that you always mean too, but never remember to watch.

Is it any good?

(Probably the wrong thread to ask about this.)

NIKITA and LEON are his best films.

I like the OG art of the U.S. version better. (Although, no title on front only on J card and spine)

I'm the only one who will tell you the truth here.

Fifth Element and Leon are Besson's best movies.
Nikita is alright, I consider it director's 'very early low budget' period, along with Subway, the one you explore after liking something from the director, appreciating it, but ultimately never loving it as much, as whatever drew you there.
It's nowhere as good as Leon, Anna is better, Lucy is better, and I actually prefer the remake Point of No Return with Bridget Fonda, but Chinese version Black Cat is good too.

Valerian is best.
 
Valerian is best.
Valerian is very good, after one lets go of all the Fifth Element expectations...
and forgives it copious amounts of CGI...
and gets used to the lead actors' stone[d] faces...
and because there's nothing else as good, save for some scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy movies...
and all 88 episodes of Farscape...

I mean I was joking and really don't think it's his best movie. Probably Fifth Element. But I do unironically enjoy Valerian. It's fun and entertaining and sometimes that's enough.
 
Thought there would be a little chatter about this I thought it was a bit of a cult movie?

Anyway. It's a matte finish but pretty clean. No bossing of any kind. And a personal annoyance here but French title so backwards. Not common on a UK release.
