Well done

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2019)

"The Fifth Element" was quiet the movie! The plot was complex. There was an evil in the universe, and it had to be stopped. If you can imagine trying to save the world after losing your job, and wife to be all at the same time then you can see what this film was truly about. Corbin Dallas (Bruce Willis) had just ended up losing all the security that he had in life. His wife left him, he got fired, and he had been asked to take on the biggest responsibilities.
His endeavor was one of the utmost importance. He needed to solve a puzzle while piecing himself back together along the way. The setting was one that exists 300 years in the future. His acting in the role, I thought was spot on for his current demeanor. He was rather pitiful at first as you realized that his whole life had pretty well fallen apart. A setting that many do experience in life. A dead-end job, no significate other, and the smallest apartment that I think I have ever seen. Corbin was looking for the pieces to put his life back together when all of a sudden, a pretty woman came crashing into his life.
The camera angles and slow-motion effects brought the two love birds together in what seemed like an unlikely bond immediately. The music and effects made there first meeting one to remember through the entire film. The Boom you could say. Then the plot thickened when the realization of what must be done set in. They were destined to take on the burden of saving the world, and there was no doubt that it would have be done together.
The lighting in each scene made the full effect of the movie stand out. Each scene was displayed in a future-matic format that you can only describe as being present. The props and camera angles drew you into the moments of action and adventure. Each scene encompassed the future right down to alien skin rugs on the floor of paradise. The theme of the movie really fit into each scene as it should.
In conclusion, the film was impressive and Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) fit the role perfectly. Her presence alone gave the impression of the will to succeed through the entire film. Corbin could not fail with Leeloo by his side. These two together along with the endeavor they were faced with was plenty enough to keep you guessing at each corner. This film was well done, and I think that all involved did a great job in making the story feel, look, and sound real. No disappointment in the film. Great job!
