**Review: "The Fifth Element"**"The Fifth Element" is a vibrant, futuristic sci-fi extravaganza directed by Luc Besson. Set in a visually stunning 23rd-century world, the film introduces us to a unique blend of action, humor, and romance. Bruce Willis delivers a solid performance as the cynical cab driver, Korben Dallas, who finds himself intertwined with the fate of the universe. Milla Jovovich's portrayal of Leeloo is both endearing and powerful, making her character unforgettable. With its quirky characters, including Gary Oldman's eccentric villain and Chris Tucker's flamboyant radio host, the movie never takes itself too seriously, adding to its charm. While some might find its storyline a bit convoluted, its sheer audacity, memorable set pieces, and Jean-Paul Gaultier's imaginative costume designs make it a cult classic in the sci-fi genre. It's a visual and auditory feast, meant to be enjoyed with a suspension of disbelief and a love for cinematic adventures.

There is so much entertainment in this movie it would be almost stupid to write about its flaws. Especially the story is not the best thing here, but who cares. I liked every scene, every moment in this movie. The movie opens in Egypt, 1914, and we meet some strange creatures. From here on we know this is not going to be a normal or very serious sci-fi action movie. The creatures tell a priest that the stones are no longer save on earth and they take some things. They tell the priest they will return in 300 years, when evil arrives.300 years later. The strange creatures return but they are attacked by other strange creatures. The only thing that survives is reconstructed and turns out to be Lee Loo (Milla Jovovich). She is the fifth element, the ultimate weapon against evil. Evil here looks like a great ball of fire. Lee Loo escapes from the authorities, and in an astonishing shot we see how a city looks like now. She jumps of a building and ends up in the flying cab of Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis). He saves her from the police, she asks for priest Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm), he brings her there.We learn a little more about Lee Loo here. She needs four stones, the four other elements, to save the world. The stones are on a vacation resort where we meet DJ Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker). He has some funny scenes as well. We have also met Zorg, who is played by Gary Oldman in a great way. The attack on the strange creatures early in the movie was planned by him. He wants the stones as well, he is offered a lot of money for them. How the story develops from here I will not reveal.The story doesn't even matter. In every scene we have something to like. Beautiful settings, great visual effects, Gary Oldman, the beautiful Jovovich or the funny moments from Bruce Willis, Chris Tucker and Ian Holm. May be this movie is not for everyone but if you don't think to much you will definitely like it.

Love this movie. It is one of the all time best movies. Lovely characters. Good acting. It actually has a story line without hours of endless CGI fight scenes. Enjoyed watching it...again! lol

One of the funniest movies ever, promptly delivered and in good nick A++++×

One of my favourite film's only on Amazon prime.

La película llego a tiempo y en buen estado. La película es una de las más divertidas película de acción, con actores de primer nivel, y una dirección increíble. El audio en la versión 4k es inmejorable, por eso prefiero escucharlo en idioma original, porque el audio latino no es el original, ha cambiado en esta reedición y perdió mucho su esencia.

Embora meio maluca, a história é bem conduzida e divertida.Bons efeitos especiais.

Edicion de EEUU de el quinto elemento con imagen fuera de serie y sonido dolby atmos en la V.O.al igual que la edicion anterior de EEUU contiene subs en español. En esta ocasion contamos con multitud de extras.

ATTENZIONE: Questa recensione si riferisce alla versione Superbit / Regione 1 del DVD. Possedevo già la VHS e il DVD italiano del Quinto Elemento e ho voluto approfittare dell'offerta di Amazon per averlo anche in edizione Superbit, avendo apprezzato i pregi di questo tipo di supporto con altri titoli. Il dischetto é singolo e presenta zero extra ma in compenso offre una definizione dell'immagine e una chiarezza del suono eccellenti, molto vicine a quelle di un bluray. E' come vedere il film di Luc Besson per la prima volta, scoprendo nuovi particolari e dettagli nitidi in quasi ogni scena, nonostante si tratti di un'opera realizzata più di 20 anni fa. Come segnalato all'inizio, il DVD acquistato da me é regione 1, made in USA, quindi in Europa é compatibile solo su lettori "multiregion". Ma ogni tanto su Amazon appare pure qualche offerta di supporti in regione 2. Buona caccia e buona fortuna.

昔見て、どんな話だったか忘れて購入。若いミラジョボビッチが、バイオハザードの感じと違い、とてもキュートです。映像もある意味、不思議な感じもあり、アクションもありで、内容はシンプルに地球を救うというストーリーだが、突っ込みたい場面もあり、面白いです。最後はハッピーエンドだし、、安心して見られます。綾瀬はるかの僕の彼女はサイボーグなどが好きな方には、楽しめると思います。
