The Ultimate Space Adventure.

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2006)

The Fifth Element will be ten years old next year, yes its true. From director Luc Besson came the awesome and absolutely stunning movie that is The Fifth Element; showing us as an audience there was still a reason worth going to the movies, and that adventure was truly alive. With a classic battle between good and evil, imortalised in the beautiful and Milla Jovovich as Leeloo, and supported by an impressive cast that included Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Chris Tucker and Ian Holm, the world of the 22nd Century came alive with aliens, hover cars and vast floating palaces, worlds and dazzling imagery. Also scored by the very talented Eric Serra (The Professional, Goldeneye), a fitting and pop-orchestral soundtrack took this movie to the next level. In a time when Hollywood is running short of movies, this movie stands as a return to classic ideals and storytelling that, perhaps, is worth saving the planet for. Check it out, and buckle up!
