    The fifth element and the five senses. Sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. The overload was beautiful. The visuals were breathtaking, the soundtrack was roasting, and the acting was boasting. I mean, Bruce, Milla, Chris, and Gary acted themselves into production. They became set peices. Talking…

    8/10 Crazy fun movie that’s main problem is coming out to early. Effects were probably state of the art at the time but now look a bit campy. However this movie is still great with a fun story and good action. The comedy was woven into the plot very well. All these characters are unique and add to…

    Decent sci-fi movie with fun and unique costumes It gets a bit too goofy at times but I understood what they were going for and it really just comes down to individual taste Don’t think i’ll ever return to this movie personally but I understand and respect its following

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.

The action is fast, furious, and as wacky as science fantasy gets.

It may or may not be the worst movie ever made, but it is one of the most unhinged.
