Good futuristic movie...Chris Tucker is annoying as always, but it fits his character and he doesn't have a huge role...Milla's hot as always...

The Fifth Element is an engaging movie about two heroes and the fate of the world. the Fifth Element is actually an alien that is turned into a human by modern technology and is "perfect". The movie has very good gun battles and the fact that there are two heroes makes this movie very interesting.

This is Bruce Willis' best acting in any movie. Luc B's Sci fi scenes incredibily help Brucey here perform, and Milla is a new actress that later went on to perform in "Resident Evil". I gave 5 stars. Watch it in the weekend for sure! [+] Read Full Review

This is a kids film at best although should be watched by with an adult.

The Fifth Element continues to "wow" science fiction fans after over 10 years for good reason: it is truly amazing.

After 5,000 years a great evil is respawning in our universe. The only way to defeat the evil is to prevent it from standing in a particular place (Egypt, of course) at a particular time. Good must arrange four stones representing the four element around a fifth element, representing love. The fifth element is Milla Jovovoch, known in the movie as Leeloo.

Unfortunately agents of the evil are out to sabotage the agents of good by trying to steal the four elements. The remainder of the film is about getting the stones, bringing them to the temple, and activating the weapon before the evil arrives.

The film takes place 250 years into our own future. Bruce Willis plays Corben Dallas, a retired military officer and current cabbie. As the protagonist, he faces a series of challenges from alien mercenaries and corporate villainy. He has a number of allies, from the military, to a secret priesthood, to Leeloo herself. Chris Tucker guest stars as comic relief, a "shock jock" for an interplanetary radio program that follows Corben through the second half of the film.

Visually, the film is a masterpiece, used as reference for television and film for a decade. Sweeping vistas of future New York, Egypt, space, and other planets offer an impressive view of just how much the universe has opened to the human race over the past 250 years. The cinematography is equally impressive, with well-composed shots all angled to best convey a sense of atmosphere for its respective scene.

Costuming is amazing, with bizarre futuristic outfits designed to convey sex appeal for the flight attendants, cleanliness for scientists, and utilitarian for the police, whose suits have lights fitted to their armor. The costumes are also designed in typically primary colors, which appear to be matched to the scenery throughout the film in startling quality.

Finally, the soundtrack is masterful. The classical soundtrack complements the film without over-dramatizing the scene. When the aliens first visit Earth in Egypt in the opening scene, the ambiance is an ambivalent electronic sound similar to wind blowing. Scenes of heavy industry have similarly industrial music, with mechanical noises built into the classical melody. The cornerstone scene of the film, in which Corben Dallas goes to an Opera, blends modern techno with Opera to impressive effect, highlighting a fight montage occurring at the same time.

From pacing to script, The Fifth Element impresses at every turn. A PG-13 rating is appropriate, with some modest parental guidance during brief nudity and fantasy violence. The Fifth Element plays like a great ride, and everyone gets off enjoying themselves.
