Should You Bother with the Bluray if you Have the DVD? - Rating: 5/5
Super Bluray. The film, of course, is excellent, although it never has been clear to me why the authorities would want a criminal to become their agent. However, once you swallow that incongruity, it is an engrossing film. The Bluray transfer is excellent, rich colors, sharp definition, action remains crisp, but that is probably because my HDTV's have the requisite fpm's. If you like action films, and if you've liked the previous recordings of this, you will love the Bluray version. Definitely worth updating from DVD.
Classic - Rating: 5/5
This is probably the crowning achievement of Luc Besson's work. Leon (The Professional european cut) comes close...but there is something more to Nikita's depth of character. Leon went more action, and the 5th Element went all out glam.
