The Fifth Element

Not even Luc Besson’s best film. People are riding on the nostalgia train

Eurotrash scifi completely ruined by Chris Tucker

I saw this film in a theatre when it was first released and liked it enough to buy the Laserdisc a year or so later. (it was in the correct aspect ratio as most laserdics were, you can google that term to find out what that is) I purchased this itunes version today because of those fond memories. This transfer is very nice with very slight grain throughout. The sound track is nothing special in my opinion in fact at full volume on my computer some segments were almost unitelligble. Watching it after all these years I was trying to determine why I liked it soo much all those years ago. I found the Star Wars clone parts to be down right tedious (Like the whole Star Wars franchise is for me), but the parts that were unique to this film remain very engaging indeed. Chris Tucker was the real star here, easily out acting Bruce Willis who came off as pretty wooden. The Diva segment stands out as the most creative part of the film! An alien signing opera, what a terrific concept! Sets for the ship were pretty tacky, (maybe an "in joke") but I'm not so sure. Overall, I'm glad I have this electronic version, generally the unique "highs" really outweigh the lows making for a pretty entertaining experience. Special note for Millenals, I do not use the term "awesome" for any picture and this one, with all its charms is very far from the level of "the greatest film ever". Go ahead and buy it, the price is reasonable and generally you'll find engaging entertainment here.

Best movie ever

Odd but it is like Star Wars or Blade Runner.

Thoroughly entertaining!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

No spanish subtitles

Great flick!

They mess with your library, and now I have this stupid icon instead of the proper one. Somebody thinks they're being cute, so knock it off! Put the proper image back and leave it the @!#$ alone!!!

I just liked the song on the bout
