There's lots of them but one that hasn't been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It's 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.
Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence
We are probably a decade apart, but sucker punch made me walk away. All of the anime CGI faces and action scenes just had me bored. Maybe I wasted all of my Suspension Of Disbelief on pulp sci Fi novels back in the 90s.
I remember Sucker Punch being visually pretty, it was the story and overall vibe that was awful.
Valerian was pretty cool, I have given it 7 in imdb. Seems like it globally has mediocre rating. For comparison I have given 3 for Sucker Punch.
Yeah, the writing wasn't good and the vibe was real bad, dealing with extreme mental illness and sexual abuse. But for the visuals and the fight scenes it's great.
