Fifth Element

Pros: Good cast. Great special effects. Engaging story that keeps your interest.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: There ugly aliens, a really bad bad guy, fights, a beautiful women, and lots of explosions in The Fifth Element. What more could you want?

Review: I have seen The Fifth Element several times since the first time I rented it. I liked the movie the first time I saw it. This movie is now part of my DVD collection.

PLOT

The movie began in the past,...

Pros: Beautiful to look at, well directed and well cast

Cons: Fans of Luc Besson's other work may be disappointed

Review: Opening on an archaeological dig in Egypt in the early 20th century, the resting place of the fifth element is about to be discovered when the Mondoshawans, fearing its safety on Earth, arrive to take it away. 300 years later the Earth is facing a...

Pros: Slick futuristic action flick with humour and explosions in perfect ratio.

Cons: none.

The Bottom Line: This is a great classic, bold and entertaining. It is funny and frenetic and thoroughly enjoyable.

Review: The Fifth Element (1997) Written and Directed by Luc Besson ”What's wrong with you? What you screamin' for? Every 5 minutes there's somethin', a bomb or somethin'. I'm leavin'. bzzzz.” Ruby Rhod, Galactic DJ. Our story of the ...

Pros: Fun, fast paced, beautiful, great score

Cons: No real depth or hidden message.

The Bottom Line: Just one of the best “fun” Science Fiction movies out there.

Review: This movie rates high on my overall list just because it is a fun movie.  It doesn’t make you think (at least not too much), it doesn’t make you too sad, it doesn’t have any redeeming humanistic qualities other than it is a fun ...

Pros: Lots of action, laughs, and amazing special effects!

Cons: Not a smash hit at the box office

The Bottom Line: If you haven't seen this movie, go out and rent it! The story is way out there, but very entertaining.

Review: I can in all honesty not come up with anything I truly dislike about this movie. The vision that Luc Besson had was awesome and I can see why he pushed for 10 years to finally get funding to make this movie. What does disappoint me is the movie only...

Pros: Perfect mixture of science-fiction, action, comedy, suspense, and romance.

Cons: Ending story idea about war kind of pulled out of thin air.

The Bottom Line: Simple story (no Dummy book required) yet filled to the brim with science-fiction, action, suspense, comedy, and romance. One of Luc Besson's best creations ever imagined.

Review: The Fifth Element serves up a whole lot of science fiction with a little action, comedy, and suspense on the side. Luc Besson should be credited with creating a film that similar to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, stretches the...

Pros: By Far, Chris Tucker; humor, action, romance, its got it all!

Cons: I'm trying to think... No...no cons!

The Bottom Line: Never were elements so much fun! If you haven't seen this movie yet, run to the video store and pick it up! You won't be sorry!

Review: The Fifth Element is one of those movies that is so under appreciated. I remember when it was first in theaters and the commercials on tv about it. These commercials made me think this movie was something it wasn't. Which is to say I thought it was...

Pros: Bruce Willis, Special Events

Cons: Gary Oldman

Review: I like this movie because it is not your average movie. It's a Sci Fi Action movie. I don't see how any body could not like it, especially with Bruce Willis in it.


The movie starts in Egypt, 1914 in a temple. Archaeologists are...

Pros: Keeps you entertained; great story and interesting adventure; perfect for any mood your in.

Cons: Some very minor flaws, nothing to really mention in particular.

The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this film. It's well balanced and entertaining, with some great laughs and compelling storyline.

Review: The Fifth Element, directed by Luc Besson, is one of my favorite movies of all time. At first glance, it's not hard to think it may be too cheesy for its own good- but give it a chance and you may end up loving it! It has a great combination of genres ...

Pros: Stunning visual effects and some hilarious & memorable performances

Cons: A bit overwhelming!

Review: There are many reviews that describe the particulars of the plot of the Fifth Element, so I will not address that here. Instead I will present an overview of the theme of the movie.

As an avowed eschatologist (those who study and like the End...
