Valerian

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - in which Major Valerian is a young hot shot and has a great partner, Lauraline, that he does space missions with. So, this mission for the movie is to retrieve a small animal/energy-generator who is both adorable and valuable. The movie opens on a beautiful beach planet, and some peaceful, skinny aliens who have a pearl economy and seem to be very happy. Oh, no! Their planet is attacked, and only a few survive in a bomb-shelter, and their princess is trapped outside, she is killed, and sends out an energy burst as like a magical death rattle, and we see it hit Valerian. He takes the info-packed dream it causes to heart, and when he recognizes the little guy they pick up on their mission, it is from his dream. So, the guy who sent them on the mission is suspicious, so Lauraline keeps the little guy on her when they all go to some council meeting. The skinny beach aliens crash the council meeting and kidnap the suspicious General Clive Owen because they think he has the little guy, but Lauraline still has him. So, she and Valerian get some info from these little bat guys with anteater faces about this red zone in the middle of the city of a thousand planets, which used to be the ISS. Lauraline gets down there, and Valerian follows her, and they find the skinny aliens, who retell the annihilation of their planet as the result of post-future-modern warfare, so Lauraline gives them their little guy back, so they can have a planet again, it seems like they found a place to set up shop. Clive Owen is going to be put on trial for his war crimes, it seems that he lied about the planet the skinny aliens lived on, said it was uninhabited. Valerian and Lauraline get together, as romance is also important.
