Fifth Element ?

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2018)

I usually strongly consider the overall IMDB rating when deciding which film to sit down and watch. Almost always the higher the better - i.e. a 7/10 plus; means a decent film. Which is why am very confused this film sits on a 7.7/10 overall on IMDB. I didnt see this first time around and am watching it for the first time in 2018.. I generally believe they are making scifi films better in recent years than they have in the past.. Not always - but usually! The visuals and effects here are very nice... But the plot is thin. Nothing much here is gripping. A lot of the more recent edgy sci-fi's just bury this thing.. Maybe it was good for 1997; but I dont think it stands up too well.. 5/10 at best for me and thats being generous.. Disappointing....
