Visually dazzling

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 1999)

I really enjoyed The Fifth Element. It is visually stunning with a story way out of this universe. Everyone does a really good job of preserving their character, not matter how ridiculous it all must have seen. With a pounding soundtrack, and quick snazzy dialogue viewers are in for a real treat. The film should be seen on the big screen, as it does lose a bit of its impact on video. This film takes an unusual approach to the science fiction genre, which is what makes it so refreshing- though I can see why its not for all tastes.
