A Breath of Fresh Air in Sci-Fi

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2004)

George Lucas has ripped off the entire air-traffic sequence from 'the Fifth Element' and this says a lot. You can see parts of that same sequence is Spielberg's 'Minority Report' as well. In fact James Cameron's Digital Domain has created a work that stands the test of time and looks 100% real, while ILM's work on a lot more recent projects looks completely fake.
This movie is all about aesthetics. Although the story is interesting, you can ignore the dialog and still have fun. It's a cross between Star Gate, Blade Runner and Star Wars.
Together with 'Starship Troopers', the Fifth Element is the best Sci-Fi movie of the 90s.
9/10
