I've enjoyed puking more than watching this movie!

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2009)

This movie is one of the top 10 worst I've ever seen. First off the supposed perfect person Leeloo (Jovovich) is brought on the scene through a cloning machine which is apparently common at this future date. So Leeloo is supposed to be or become some form of perfected deity in the story. OK... that doesn't make any sense whatsoever! The future people of earth who revere Leeloo as a deity just made this chick that is supposedly a God to them with the machine that they (mortals) can make. That maybe just a little short sighted that the people think she is a deity... Let's not forget she is also supposed to have some errand from ancient robots to get these special stones and save the world from an unexplained evil. The unexplained evil happens to be angry aliens and an errant comet of evil that came from outer space to destroy the earth for an unknown reason.
There is no real explanation of these alien monsters or floating comets of death and their purpose of destroying the earth other than the fact that they want to...?
Korban is an ex-major of the army of Earth. They must be paying very badly in the future military because I have an uncle that is a retired major of only the United States army and he gets a pretty fat check from his pension every month. Did I mention my uncle is retired and doesn't even need to think about working? Korban, on the other hand, is not doing very well. I guess from the looks of his character he blew it all on booze and or gambling. Korban has now become a taxi driver to pay for his 5' x 12' sweet arse apartment on 98th floor of the crap shoot palace. While on the job one day Korban happens to get the luck of Leeloo falling through the roof of his cab, which somehow does not kill her. Considering how fast she was falling I always wondered if falling through the metal roof of Korban's taxi was no big thing then why did she all of the sudden stop on the cushioned seats of Korban's taxi only a mere 3 more feet?
Anyways, Korban decides to risk his job by taking the time to tote Leeloo around instead of dropping her off at the next stop or a hospital. From the looks of his place and how much money he was making before the taxi driving job I don't think it's in the nature of his character to just throw caution to the wind and risk his job. Even after he realized she was not hurt by falling through the roof of his cab you would think at least he would start the tab and charge her for the ride.
Later on, in the movie we discover that these elemental stone things that Leeloo needs so she can save the planet were somehow eaten, or magically ingested by this other random alien opera singer. We must suppose that the alien who ate the stones happened to be a good one (not one of the bad ones.) Because if she was a bad alien then she might have hidden the stones somewhere else than her stomach. The lucky thing is that all the good people on the side of Leeloo happened to go to the same opera where this alien who ingested the stones was singing that night.
Unfortunately, all the bad guys decided to go to the same performance and ended up killing everything in the place. Fortunately, they missed Korben who saves the day, again upstaging the supposed to be protagonist, Leeloo. Sadly, through the mêlée, the alien opera singer along with the other half of the cast was unfortunately mortally wounded. Luckily, she happens to whisper with her dying breath to Korben (I'd like to add she has no clue who he is) her secret of ingesting these elemental stones one night when she had a few too many. So Korben being the extra (or only) Protagonist for the day ends up taking the stones from the random opera alien's innards.
Phew!! Thank goodness for that completely useless storyline twist that added nothing and only helped make the story to be even more retarded, I was about to break a sweat!
I'd like to add that Leeloo was supposed to be the protagonist which actually is Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) in the movie which also destroys much of the purpose story line. If you haven't figured out why I said that Korban is actually the protagonist in the movie then let me help you. The protagonist is the hero, the person who goes out and defeats the boogie man, bad guys, the evil dragon, the evil aliens that destroy everything without having a reason etc. and saves the day. Korban is the person who does all of that stuff in the movie not Leeloo, she is just an extra body that speaks some stupid language that nobody understands, plus she just gets in the way the whole time while Korban is busy saving her ass the whole movie.
Again, as I mentioned earlier and probably the main catastrophic flaw in the story is that Leeloo is supposed to be a deity, a God!! Anything worthy of being called a deity should definitely comprehend the emotion of love. If Leeloo didn't even understand the emotion or that the emotion of love existed among the races of the Earth then why was she ever considered a deity? Why was she the person who was supposed to provide the fifth element (which is love) that was required to destroy all the evil things that were trying to destroy the Earth???
In the end, my opinion is that this movie sucks! Need I even mention the soundtrack!? It's horrible! That's all that needs to be said.
