Entertaining Sci-Fi

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2017)

The Fifth Element is one of Luc Besson's earlier science fiction films, which is considered one of his better films in his filmography. While watching the film, we will notice Milla Jovovich in a very early role as a career starter. Within we realize that she is what the title of the film represents. Meaning, she is the fifth element, she's the sum total of our hope for survival, but she's way down the cast list and she can't get around town without Bruce Willis.
The Fifth Element is an entertaining and visually stunning sci-fi piece but at times the film somewhat drags on. Not as high on the film as it has been praised, it is mindless fun. What makes the film great is the presence of Milla Jovovich as Leeloo, as well as the portrayal of Bruce Willis' character. There is chemistry there and it shows as the film progresses.
