“Valerian is as gorgeous & epic.”
Valerian is as gorgeous & epic a sci-fi adventure as you are expecting. However, the story & characters often get overshadowed by the world.
— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) June 29, 2017
《io9》記者 Germain Lussier 留下:「正如大家所期待的一樣,《Valerian》是一部絕美且經典的科幻冒險電影。然而,故事和角色時常在電影裡被整個世界觀搶去風采。」
“Overall a fun, worthwhile romp.”
#Valerian: Inventive world-building and some awesomely unique set pieces. Runs out of steam eventually, but overall a fun, worthwhile romp.

《Slashfilm》編輯 Angie J. Han 認為:「《Valerian》打造了創意的世界觀以及酷炫獨特的背景,儘管最後有些美中不足,但整體來說是一次相當有趣的體驗。」

“It's one of my favorite movies of the year.”
oh I saw VALERIAN!! it's one of my favorite movies of the year

《The Atlantic》編輯 David Sims 寫下:「我剛看了《Valerian》,這是我今年看過最棒的電影之一。解釋一下:我覺得這部電影並不一定適合所有觀眾,主要圍繞在愛情發展的對話實在有點呆板,但我還是很享受電影的每一分每一秒,而且故事與《第五元素》類似,皆由人性哲學觀點出發。每一幕場景畫面都是令人驚艷的巴洛克風格。」
it's driven by the same good-hearted, humane philosophies that drove THE FIFTH ELEMENT. and every single set piece is wonderfully baroque
