It looks a tad dull, which is a bummer given how back in the 90's Besson gathered an amazing team to do 5th Element

Those costume designs are almost completely different beyond the basest similarities.

The intended thought process from the person who made that image is probably:

these costumes look kind of like a video game
v
the movie obviously copied the game design
v
the movie will exhibit a dearth of creativity elsewhere, as evidenced by costumes
v
movie will be a plagiarized pile of crap
v
help me complain about it

(rule does not apply when it's their favorite superhero costume/story that's being evaluated for creativity/originality though)

You seem greatly invested in this. I just think it's slightly amusing that particular costume and the movie title looks so much like Mass Effect. Taking notice of it is the point.

i honestly doesn't care if they look similar or not. I just think it's cool that someone is making a Valerian and Laureline movie, especially since that someone is Luc Besson. The guy clearly has a lot of love when it comes to French comics.

The suits are so generic "space suit/armor combo" that it is barely worth mentioning.

The effect of the slash through the title is considerably more damning imo, that seems like a really distinct design (although I'm sure it has some precedent elsewhere, but here it seems intentionally evocative of like a rocket parabola which is a neat bit of design in the original)

Agreed I looooove Mass Effect but it looks like pulp 70/80s sci-fi book covers/comics by design, like that was their stated goal of the series' visual design and that's cool as hell but not particularly inventive. I think X-Men outfits were even mentioned specifically in one developer interview.

Either way the form of media doesn't matter, costume design stuff is always going to cross pollinate so that even if the creators of this X-Men movie never even heard of Mass Effect, some light similarity is inevitable because both are popular sci-fi things. If I had to pick a specific thing I'd say the outfits are closer to something like what a lot of the aliens would wear in early to mid 90s Star Trek stuff. It's interesting to try to trace but in reality rare for something like this to have a singular influence.

Costumes have never been the X-Men film franchise's strong suit.

Valerian is looking real good though.

Every species can smell its own extinction.
Let's hope the movie keeps up the tradition of Valerian the time-cop from the future being kind of a dope and Laureline the medieval peasant girl being the smarter one who gets things done.

Edit: Also if the Shingouz aren't in there I will scream.
