If you loved Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, try Lucy

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Luc Besson, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

playful

What Lucy is

Taipei streets, neon lights, a briefcase exchange. A young woman is captured, a synthetic drug is sewn into her stomach, and her transformation begins. Luc Besson's visual flair propels this sci-fi action.
