    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

    One of the best movies intros I’ve ever seen. Too bad the rest of the movie sucked.

      My God, I have not been more bored watching an action movie. I actually turned it off because it was putting me to sleep and I just thought the whole thing was dumb.

      And I like marvel movies.

    My pick is Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss will forever be one of cinema’s greatest opening themes. And combined with the opening credits of the movie with the sun rising slowly over the Earth was absolutely groundbreaking and legendary. It is truly one of the greatest opening credits sequences of all time.

    Perhaps a bit on the campy side, the opening theme song of the original Highlander was always one of my favorites:
    Princes of the Universe by Queen.

    My all time favourite is Lord of war. Perfect song, nice way to show the bullet production and then in the end when it hits its target… Could not imagine a better opening to this movie. Especially once you get to know that it is based on some real russian arms dealer.

      I believe it’s “warlord.”

    Not a movie but the Raised By Wolves opening theme song is pretty epic.

    The Stand (1994, does this count since it’s a mini series?) Badass the whole way

    A series, but The Expanse is hauntingly beautiful.
