All in all a great flick - lots of action, lots of humor. I never get tired of this one. The more you watch it, the better it gets. Chris Tucker is an absolute riot. This is by far one of my all time favorite movies. Willis is definitely having fun and it makes the movie fun and just off-center. The supporting cast is also wonderful and they play off of Bruce superbly.
But since i now have a blu ray player & a plasma tv. It looks awesome. i have this movie on dvd. It only seem right to buy it on blu ray.
I liked the movie, but you can get the normal movie at wal mart in thier $5 bin.
I'm not sure if that's put correctly, but I think you get the idea: it almost looks and feels like an anime film. This time he uses a very Southern accent for his character Zorg. Will this film be forgotten in the future, or become overrated. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he is more than just a hobbit. I did find myself laughing at his constant bragging and screaming whenever he's in the face of danger. I doubt that major cities will look like the futuristic New York City as seen here, but the designs are nonetheless stunning to look at.Not only did I get a kick at the film's sci-fi style, I was also greatly amused by some of the performances (Oldman and Tucker in particular). Ian Holm never fails: he gives a very believable performance as Vito Cornelius. It's full of keyboards, synthesizers, strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, and Middle Eastern instruments.
There's so much color in this futuristic world, and I don't mean that it's all very in-your-face flashy. And finally, the real standout here is the iconic Gary Oldman. The entertainment value in The Fifth Element starts to find itself at the very top whenever the man's on screen. Everyone remembers "Lucia di Lammermoor" and "Diva Dance," right. These two sequences in the film are simply the best when it comes to the music. "This case is supposed to be FULL."The music is also worth of mention.
Milla Jovovich is a bit of an annoyance when she first appears, but as the movie continues the annoyance soon vanishes and she gives a very lovely performance as Leeloo (her fight sequence will surely amaze). I doubt it. Chris Tucker. It's almost cyberpunk with dashes of colorful modern-day indie styles. Bruce Willis may not be an ideal man for a sci-fi atmosphere, but he does a very god job here.
People may not like his character Ruby Rod, but his loudmothed humor actually adds much to the film. I just hope it doesn't become a victim of a future remake ().Grade: A This is a cult classic, and I don't think it'll ever go away. This is an incredibly stylish sci-fi film. And by the way, her clothes and her hair look so delicious.
Eric Serra has given us a very diverse music score.
Ian Holm, in particular, so overplays the priest's discomfort and confusion that it becomes unbelievable. ("Amadeus" and "2001" are also good choices). On the other hand, Gary Oldman gives a (not surprisingly) imaginative and controlled interpretation of the story's human villain.The real star of this Blu-ray disk is the transfer itself. It's so silly and has so many off-the-wall elements that the initial viewing can be very off-putting, especially in a story about the possible destruction of humanity. The sound verges on the spectacular, with plenty of surround action.Among high-definition demo disks, "The Fifth Element" is "primer inter pares".
As a Blu-ray disk, it gets /at least/ 5 stars."The Fifth Element" is one of those films you have to accept on its own terms. His direction is apt and assured, but some of the acting is not up to par. (And in a movie that's fundamentally unbelievable, that's saying something). If you simply want a disk to show off your new 60" Pioneer Elite Kuro plasma display (not to mention your sound system), you couldn't choose better. Please note that the 4-star rating is for the film itself.
It works best if you shut off your critical and reasoning faculties, and just "go with the flow".Beeson throws in lots of "Star Wars" references, which I'll leave you to note and laugh at on your own. The image is so razor-sharp and beautifully textured -- without any apparent enhancement artifacts -- that one cannot even /imagine/ a better 1080p transfer.
