Can't help thinking that lots of that looks familiar.
0:20 - Oh look, it's the Millennium Falcon
0:30 - "I wonder if it'll make friends with me"
0:58 - Bet she's a Replicant
1:06 - Aren't Avatars supposed to be blue?
1.30 - Oh look, it's an X-Wing
1:44 - Someone's been watching Babylon 5
Not to mention a bunch of bits that look to have been lifted clean out of his own previous work.

Um - are you kidding? I can't tell.
Valerian is a massively influential series of comic books. The Falcon was accused of being a rip off of its ship design. Beson's been a fan since he was a kid, so he's totally been influenced - so it's only natural that his earlier films should have a load of those elements (geddit).
