Finishing to read this immense work is a feat that leaves one with a sense of accomplishment, new understanding of the last 40 years of sci-fi cinema and literature and just a bit of bitter taste.
The visuals by Moebius are astounding and one can clearly see how they went on to seed not only obvious descendants such as Blade Runner and The Fifth Element, but even a more general visual zeitgeist for sci-fi, fantasy and mystical representations.
The story is especially fun for those of us who understand a bit of the Tarot and Alchemy symbolisms and how these relate to the peculiar story structure.
But the bitter that remains is exactly in how much time in the story is spent remarking how corrupt politicians are and how "there is no time!" and how little is spent detailing all that could be born of such visual and symbolic wealth.
Still indeed a seminal work. Just look at the first scene in the comic and the first scene in Attack of the Clones.
