Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero--what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson's high-octane film incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens. Bruce Willis stars as a down-and-out cabbie who must win the love of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) to save Earth from destruction by Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) and a dark, unearthly force that makes Darth Vader look like an Ewok. --Geoff Riley

DVD features
Because of its striking vision and slam-bang sci-fi action, The Fifth Element has long been a prime show-off disc for home-theater owners. The third DVD release, the two-disc Ultimate Edition, is the best one yet. It's essentially a Superbit Deluxe DVD, reserving the first disc for the film in a high bit-rate picture and DTS sound borrowed from the earlier Superbit DVD (a tiny Superbit logo is displayed on the back cover) and an interesting though barely legible subtitled trivia track (text only so it doesn't take much disc space). From the greater detail to the more natural colors, it's a better viewing experience overall. The second disc contains two hours of featurettes, produced in 2004 and new to DVD. In fact, it's the first Fifth Element DVD to have supplemental features of any kind. Topics covered include visual effects, how the aliens were created, Milla Jovovich's screen tests (you can watch four of them), and the French artists whose comic books provided the initial inspiration and earned them an invitation to work with the design team. Jovovich, Bruce Willis, and everyone else involved in the picture seems to make an appearance, except director Luc Besson. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

It's Blu-ray, what more do I need to say?
The audio and video are absolutely perfect, sharp and crystal clear. A funny Sci-fi adventure. A little goofy at times, but thoroughly enjoyable.
