Movie synopsis

A visual feast combining ancient mysticism, cyberpunk sensibilities, flamboyant entertainment personalities, and gun-toting alien mercenaries. In the 23rd century, Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), an ex-special forces agent who now practices as a down-and-out cabbie, finds himself caught in a struggle to defy a prophesied Evil from destroying the Earth when a mysterious woman (Milla Jovovich) falls into the back seat of his cab. Pursued by both the government and a powerful magnate enlisted by the forces of Evil (Gary Oldman), the woman is the key to Earth's salvation, known only as the Fifth Element. This was French auteur Besson's first offering with Hollywood backing. Academy Award Nomination: Best Sound Effects Editing.

Still one of my all-time favorite films

Created: 06/08/08
I know it's even more cheesy today than when first released... but this film is so fun, an all-around treat. First of all, this and Pulp Fiction are Willis' best roles (forget Die Hard!). Next, the cinematography and effects are a visual treat, followed by Gautier's excellent wardrobe, set design and color choices. The plot is one of the few stand-alone sci-fi flicks that successfully encapsulates its unique myth and futuristic predictions - it doesn't need a sequel.

Finally, the director and cast are what pushes this gem over the top. Besson keeps an excellent fast pace, directing his former beau Jovovich in the role she was born to play. Oldman is always the perfect antagonist, and this role seems like eating sweets for him. Willis' cool detachment makes the whole impossibleness seem almost real. But it is the over-the-top performance of Chris Tucker as the fabulous Ruby Rhod that makes this movie "green, baby, it's green."

Because the film is such a visual treat, this especialy is a Blu-ray film worth adding to a collection.

The Fifth Element Blu-ray

GREAT MOVIE!! I have always liked this movie. It's a great story with great special effects. The aliens are a little flaky & their speech (movement of the mouth) is not the best, but it's good enough. Watching this movie in Blu-Ray is something else!! If so enclined, you could count the bristles in Bruce Willis' beard stubble!! Very clear picture. Watching it on a big screen, with the surround sound turned up, all you need is the pop corn & you're at the theater! Absolutely loved it.

The Fifth Element - Blu-ray

Created: 29/06/09
I watched the 5th Element and I found it to be a very well done movie. It is a fun movie to watch from beginning to end. I really enjoyed all the actions scenes in the movie and I find the Bruce Willis was perfect for the movie. The 5th Element is like a roller-coaster, it's a fun ride from start to finish. The storyline of the movie is also well done as well as the plot of the movie. Chris Tucker does a good job in the movie as DJ Ruby Rhod. Gary Oldman is excellent as Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg, who is a nasty villain. Milla Jovovich is also good in the movie as Leeloo. Beautiful picture and sound in Blu-Ray..cult classic.

5th element

Created: 21/08/08
Great looking movie on blu ray , but other than great looks , no special features except for a VH1 style pop-up trivia factoids about the movie whilst you watch it. I think I got spoiled when I bought the blade runner 5 disc on blu ray , it had over 9 hours of special feature content , maybe I was expecting that with the 5th element. still a great flick to watch on blu ray , cant wait for aliens to show up on blu ray

I love this movie. Comedy it is. Chris Tucker and Bruce Willis did a good job acting keeping the movie on a little edge of its on.Lots of action once it gets started. I had to get it on Blu Ray due to that.Its one to have in your library of movies.
