The Fifth Element Review
by Jeff Pidgeon
"The Fifth Element", the latest offering from Luc Bresson, the director of "La Femme Nikita" and "The Professional", is a lavish-if-unfocused sci-fi fantasy. The basic idea is that there's Something Big and Nasty way out there at The Edge of The...more

The Fifth Element Review

The Fifth Element Review

Making film in the science fiction genre is a risky proposal. Not only must a sci-fi movie hurdle over standard movie obstacles (acting,plot,etc.), it also has to create a believable future that toys with both fantasy and reality. "The Fifth...more

THE FIFTH ELEMENT is an action / science-fiction hybrid that cost nearly $100 million to make but left out two of the most crucial elements of both genres. The best action flicks have a good sense of humor and the best science-fiction films have a...more

The Fifth Element Review
by Marty Mapes
*** (out of 4) The trailers for The Fifth Element make it look like it tries very hard, perhaps too hard, to be cool and stylish. The futuristic setting and the backflipping scraggly girl invite a skeptical comparison to Blade Runner. more

The Fifth Element Review
by Tim Voon
I truly enjoyed the visual beauty of Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' and in certain respects, director Luc Besson has achieved with the 'Fifth Element', what can be described as a visually beautiful movie. more

The Fifth Element Review

Bruce Willis has got a strange on and off movie career. Usually, it's in the off position. But, once in a long while, he'll have a good film. The 5th Element is one of the latter. The commercials which ran for the movie, initially, promised, "The Star...more

Blade Runner gets referred to frequently by people discussing The Fifth Element. I suppose they are trying to articulate that both movies give us a vivid image of the future, and this rendering becomes a major character in the film. But while BR is a...more
