Wonders in fact unheard of in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek universe. In fact in the thousand planets only one quarter of them fill that description. This is one of the few films that takes cognizance of the fact that there might be many kinds of life forms and not all of them will be humanoid and carbon based and oxygen breathing. One thing I did love about Valerian is the description of so many and so many different kinds of life forms. Maybe the producers had Reeves in mind originally.

As for DeHaan while I was watching Valerian I kept giving the screen a double take as I swore I was looking at Keanu Reeves. The two do a nice job here, but I think the leads should have been a bit older. Emphasis on the kick part because the woman kicks some serious butt in this film. Based on a French science fiction comic strip Valerian has as its two adventurers Dane DeHaan as Valerian and as his female sidekick Cara Delavingne. There are in fact certain forces who don't want the massacre to come to light and therein is our story. This is what has happened to the survivors of a planetary massacre who just want to stay there unobserved and absorbing the technology and learning from a thousand or so cultures to resettle in a different planet. As for the plot of the film itself, when you've got a system of a thousand planets I guess it's kind of easy for one to slip in and not get noticed. This then is the background of Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets. Where it attracted a whole lot of other civilizations and the place just expanded and satellites created making it practically a solar system unto itself. When the ship through expansion got so big it was messing with the very gravitational forces on earth it was cut loose and sent into space. The experiment was so successful that many from earth moved there to live in a perfect artificial atmosphere and in harmony all races and religions.

A long time ago humankind left earth and went into space in a space station above the earth.
