The Fifth Element

A true cult classic.

This movie is over the top from start to finish, and it knows it. A lot of movies that try to do this, the level to which they are over the top ebbs and flows. It jumps all over the place. This movie keeps it persistent, consistent, and that's what really keeps it flowing and makes me love it so much. Just the right amount and not too much.

The right amount of comedy to take what really is a pretty crap story, and just make it truly enjoyable to watch. They went above and beyond making all the scenes as artistic as they could. The cinematography really draws you in and can be enjoyed even if the movie isn't for you. I can watch this time and time again, and not grow bored.

This movie will never age. I really appreciate it being remastered to newer video formats. Since its release in 1997, I have watched this movie in VHS, VCD, DVD, Blu-ray and now 4K HDR. It keeps getting visually stunning with every single technology iteration. A true cult classic.

The Fifth Element is probably one of those Sci-Fi movies that will never really leave me. No matter how long it has been since the last time I watched it…

I love this, and should really take it off the shelf more often. Maybe even upgrade my copy to 4k. The Fifth Element really is good enough to warrant that.

Now now..you boys stop having unnatural thoughts about Milla

Talk about love at first sight.

This is one of those movies where if you were lucky enough to see it first-run, you did not really appreciate it at the time.

It holds up very well. And gets better with subsequent viewings (As does MS. Jovovich who went on to do a string of very memorable sci fi flicks, and one drama where, believe it or not, she played an aspiring wedding singer) Massive (truly massive) talent in front of and behind the camera. Luc Besson in front (crazy as a loon but boy can he write scripts) and Willis/Oldman in front.

For the day, the special effects were top notch.

There a joyful innocence about the film which was rare at the time, and even rarer today.

See it once. See it often. It'll make you smile.

I hope the future is like this some day, just looks so much more interesting

Filled with cool Sci-Fi concepts mixed with awesome characters portrayed by great actors, this film will forever be one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies. The Fifth Element has action that is Pure fun and amusement paired with awesome music to match the futuristic vibes. Bruce Willis plays the uptight badass hero he always is, Milla Jovovich is a great "confused" love interest and Gary Oldman plays quite a cool and unique villain. This is one of those "before its time great Sci-fi action movies of the 90s" that will always provide a super fun and entertaining experience. They don't make futuristic Sci-fi movies like they used to.

This movie is literally anime. It's incredible. I'm not an anime fan, but seriously, the few titles I saw seem to have a lot in common with this movie.

A cult classic with Bruce Willis and Chris Rock? A great movie for a a few good watching sessions.
