Funny, you can already pinpoint in this thread who's less knowledgeable in sci-fi than others. Valerian and the city of thousand planets is the first ever written sci-fi novel.

I guess it might just be a bad adaptation, that's all. But the trailer convinced me to go see it just for the visuals :P

I don't even have words to respond with.

Perhaps he meant sci-fi comic, yet those have been around since the thirties. As for sci-fi, even the most blatently obvious sci-fi novelist Jules Verne died 62 years before the first publication of Valerian, who was far from the first sci-fi writer.

I wish someone would start with Asimov's foundation series or Clarke's Rama series, or Williams' Otherland series, or Baxter's Time's eye. So much epic sci-fi to choose from. But maybe it's better to go see something I've never heard of. I've read a lot of sci-fi yet always stayed away from comics.
