    (*)Except that Section 31 movie.

    I’m curious how that went, if anyone saw it. It looked like a terrible idea.

      If you’ve read any of the original Valerian and Laureline comics, then think of the entire material available to use, and all what Valerian and Laureline inspired, and the moral values it presented at the time. Then, think of the horrible movie that Luc Besson made, the one that bears the name Valerian. Think of the actors he chose, of how much he shat on everything that the original books stood for, and all the canon material he perverted without a shed of respect.

      Consider that absolute crime against humanity Luc Besson did with Valerian.

      Well, that Section 31 movie was even worse in regards to all of Star Trek.

      It was a horrible trek movie. It was, however an okay sci-fi movie, if you pretend it wasn’t set in the trek universe.

      Basically a variation on a heist movie imo. That kind of vibe. But it completely failed to fit Trek in any way other than terminology.

      It’s not as enjoyable as Galaxy Quest in terms of being an homage to trek, and definitely not as enjoyable as the Orville in that regard. But there’s been way worse sci-fi movies made for sure. I’d rate it around 3 stars out of five, maybe 3.5. There’s sections and characters that bring it down a good bit, but the overall flow is decent
