Profile of The Fifth Element

The Fifth Element can be described as stylized, exciting, and witty. The plot revolves around a future dystopia, saving the world, and space and aliens. The main genres are action, adventure, and sci-fi. In terms of style, The Fifth Element has a Hollywood tone and is epic. In approach, it is fantastical. The storytelling is fast paced. The Fifth Element is located in New York. The movie has received attention for being a modern classic, a blockbuster, and an award winner. It is well suited for teens and a boys' night. Note that The Fifth Element involves mild violent content, nudity, and sexual content.

Summary of The Fifth Element

A visual feast combining ancient mysticism, cyberpunk sensibilities, flamboyant entertainment personalities, and gun-toting alien mercenaries. In the 23rd century, Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), an ex-special forces agent who now practices as a down-and-out cabbie, finds himself caught in a struggle to defy a prophesied Evil from destroying the Earth when a mysterious woman (Milla Jovovich) falls into the back seat of his cab. Pursued by both the government and a powerful magnate enlisted by the forces of Evil (Gary Oldman), the woman is the key to Earth's salvation, known only as the Fifth Element. This was French auteur Besson's first offering with Hollywood backing. Academy Award Nomination: Best Sound Effects Editing.

San Francisco Chronicle

What an attempt, and what a work of the imagination. The Fifth Element' will change the look of science fiction and will probably be imitated for years. Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

The future-shock details are witty, the sets and skyscapes spectacular. Besson may not be a good director, exactly, but he's a wizard at retrofitting cliches. Full Review

One of my favourites. The comedy twist is brilliant and the Jean-paul Gautier costumes add an original and unique flavour. Luc Besson/Gary Oldman combo is a good thing. Read and rate it
