The final trailer for the forthcoming—and oddly named—Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets has exploded onto the internet today. Whereas previous trailers focused on the film’s dripping quirkiness set to The Beatle’s music, this most recent trailer puts the story’s epic stakes front and center. There’s no flirty joking here, and the primary dialogue comes from a dramatic female voiceover highly reminiscent of Lady Galadriel’s narration in the Lord of the Rings’ opener. Luc Besson (Fifth Element, Lucy) really hopes to portray the events of the movie as having galactic importance to this 28th-century society.
