Summary: Simply Amazing!!
Review: Since the day I first saw this movie, I haven't been able to find a different movie to put into my DVD Player! To state the plot in few words, a typical movie of good vs. evil. But, I haven't seen a story this well thought out or produced in a long time! This movie is full of action as Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich take on the ultimate evil. The Fifth Element definitly has a place in everybody's movie collection and you won't be disapointed!! Buy it on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: superdooperbit
Review: Since there are other good movie reviews, I'll focus on the superbit treatment. The already vibrant colors now jump out at you. The background details are more evident (you can see the difference with a high resolution screen shot of regular and superbit frame); contrast is enhanced. The DTS sound is excellent, and I prefer it over DD5.1. Probably the best of the superbit collection (given some of the movies' lack of special effects, I'm not sure why they chose them), although I haven't seen the superbit Crouching Tiger.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eye candy
Review: Great action, beautiful atmosphere and effects, and a gorgeous alien chick combine to make a sci fi classic. A must have for any DVD collection.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: cliche city
Review: Why at this point in their careers Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman made this movie is beyond me. It relies on its female lead running around half naked (and babbling) and every cliche used in badly made sci fi movies. Don't waste your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superbit is clearly better
Review: Great Movie. As the priest declares in the movie, Leeloo is "perfect". Either her carefully clad body or the Diva is worth the price of the DVD alone.

I have both versions, the Superbit and the general release. I have an HDTV projection TV and Sony's top-of-the-line DVD player with progressive scan and 3:2 pulldown.

Subjectively, the picture quality is 10 to 20 percent better (depending on the scene). It is most evident on closeups - such as the hair in the professor's beard. This DVD was already a great master, and the superbit process makes it the best DVD I own. Very film-like in quality with very few artifacts from the compression process.

The DTS audio playback is equally as impressive.

I don't miss any of the extra features that were not put on this DVD to make room for the higher bit rate. (Who wants to see the trailers for other movies?)

ALL DVD's should be mastered this way. It is a shame there are only 17 titles available. I guess we'll have to wait for blue-ray assuming the consortium can settle their differences....but that's another story.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Huh? There's something wrong here!
Review: "Will go down as one of the best sci-fi movies"? "Great"? "Spellbinding"? "The next Star Wars"? I dont think so!!! This movie is completely rediculus, absurd, a waste of my time and money, and one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Luc Besson is over-rated, and a one-hit wonder! Ever since he made The Professional he's gone completely down hill. Dont get me wrong, I can appreciate cinema with a different/artistic style, but come on; you mean to tell me this is art? It looks like he got half way through the movie, discovered he had messed up and said "Oh well!". It's hard to follow along with anything in this movie, and to this day I still don't understand what the major plot is! The movie is filled with pointless interludes, lots of annoying wackyness, not to mention annoying characters. What's with that guy screaming all the time, and what was the point of him being there? Was he provided simply for comic-relief? If so, it didn't work Lucy. This kind of stuff may be funny in France but not here; remember you're now making movies for the entire world and not just France anymore. Gary Oldman un-shines as a redneck space villain. Luc Besson is only one of a gathering of French directors who have been "NOTICED" by Hollywood. When I say noticed, I actually mean I think someone blinked while looking at them. Again, this is a poor movie. And no, it doesn't have to be Star Wars in order for me to like it, but I do appreciate something with a script!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it
Review: Very funny, and filled with action and takes your breath, But one thing for sure, if it was not Bruce willis on the star, then this movie would not have successeded that much.

As a normal taxi driver and X-soldar, Dallas (Bruce willis) finds him self stuck with this beautiful girl who physically came down from the sky to his car, he wants to help her, and he loves her, he wants to get the sacred stones, to save earth and at the same time not loss the girl (5th element).

The movie is filled with action, feelings, and funny parts.

Highly recommended

Summary: Hero never met the villian!! How unique!
Review: I gotta admit that I've seen this extrodinary movie over a hundred times! It is packed with action/adventure and also includes humorous characters. I gotta say that Korben's cat is part of the cast since he/she is crosseyed and Zorg's pink pet is somewhat weird. From a loser cabbie driver to a hero for saving the world, Korben is known to be the bad-... of all of his movies! It's awesome and interesting that the hero (Korben Dallas) and the villian (Jean Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg) actually never met each other throughout the whole movie! It also looks like the year 2214 is rather more than what we see in the future, but not about the 200 billion citizens the president mentioned in the movie! I give two thumbs up, way up!

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Fifth Element
Review: This is among my top five movies. Luc Besson directs a fun, light, action-filled sci-fi movie with several hilarious characters. Bruce Willis gives his best performance (other than 12 Monkeys, another favorite of mine) ever as an ex-soldier cabbie with a nagging mother and a cross-eyed cat. (And, surprise, he looks hot with blond hair) Milla Jovavich plays Leeloo, a supreme being. Ian Holm is a sweet, bumbling little priest who is part of a line of priests who watch for the aliens and keep and eye on a temple in Egypt. Gary Oldman is the quintessential sci-fi villain, complete with the limp and the stupid name. Finally, there is Chris Tucker as Ruby, a REALLY annoying dj. This movie was a serious gamble, one that paid off. Completely original. How many movies can you say that about?
