Great film

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.

Great Movie

Not just another mindless action-packed fantasy - this movie was made before all that.IMDB: 7.6 Rotten Tomatoes: 71% My rating: 10/10One of my all-time favourites, mainly because it tells a believable story with tongue-in-cheek finesse and solid performances from all. Don't look at it as a Bruce Willis action movie, rather as a light-relief interlude.The quality of the download is questionable - on my TV it seems to be better than HD but the CGI backgrounds are not, I'm not sure whether that is because of the original definition but in general it is good enough definition with very high detail on closeups.Well worth the special price.

One of my fave movies.Can always rewatch it.So iconicSo camp

La película es muy buena, es excelente para pasar un momento muy entretenido, estoy conforme con el envío, antes de adquirir esta edición hay que mencionar que no tiene doblaje al español latino pero si cuenta con subtitulos y suficiente material extra.

Excellent film! Je le recommande fortement! Je suis très satisfaite!Dans Le Cinquième Élément, un extra-terrestre mystérieux nommé "L'Homme le Plus Dangereux du Monde" réveille et commence à semer la destruction sur la planète. Le militaire Korben Dallas est chargé de retrouver le "Cinquième Élément" - une divinité féminine nommée Leeloo, dont la présence est essentielle pour vaincre le monstre. Il se retrouve impliqué dans une course contre la montre pour protéger Leeloo et empêcher l'extermination de l'humanité. Alors qu'ils sont poursuivis par les forces de l'ordre, les agents du FBI et les mercenaires, ils parviennent à s'échapper et à se rendre à Fhloston, une station spatiale ancienne, pour y affronter l'Homme le Plus Dangereux du Monde. Leeloo se transforme en guerrière et affronte le monstre, tandis que Korben, aidé de ses nouveaux amis, tente de protéger la jeune femme. Finalement, Leeloo parvient à vaincre le monstre et à restaurer l'équilibre sur Terre, sauvant l'humanité. Le film se termine sur une scène romantique entre Korben et Leeloo, qui s'embrassent en l'air, à bord d'un vaisseau spatial.

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

US release of blu ray region A, no info about it. No back side shown, where that info is listed.Moreover, item description "Now fully remastered in 4K, experience this dynamic action favorite like never before " NOT TRUE since it is a BD edition

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.
