Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2005)

This is a bizarre but great film, that I enjoyed quite a bit with incredible visuals, wicked characters, and top notch performances!. The Story is very cool, and I must say the special effects are just brilliant!, plus Bruce Willis is simply amazing in this!. Milla Jovovich and Bruce had great chemistry together, and Chris Tucker plays one of the weirdest characters ever in my opinion, plus I thought the ending was great!. It's a bit hard to follow at times, and it does run a tad overlong, however those are minor things as I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this. One of my favorite moments in this movie is when Milla Jumps off the ledge and lands in Bruce's Taxi!, and I thought all the characters were extremely likable, however Gary Oldman was way too hammy and OTT in my opinion. It had some great dialog,and i think it's very well written and made as well!, plus it has many surprising moments as well. I'm not a big Sci-Fi film fan, however this one was great!, plus The finale is quite exciting!. This is a bizarre but great film, that I enjoyed quite a bit, with incredible visuals, wicked characters and top notch performances, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great!. Luc Besson does a great job here, with fantastic camera work, stunning visuals, phenomenal angles, great use of colors and lots of other awesome shots as well, plus he kept the film at a very fast pace!. The Acting is amazing!. Bruce Willis is amazing as always and is amazing here!, he is extremely likable, funny, had excellent chemistry with Milla Jovovich, had some great lines, and i really believe this character suited him, as he was tons of fun to watch!(Willis Rules!!!!!!!). Gary Oldman is terrible here, he was too hammy and OTT for my tastes, and he also bored me to tears, i'm not a big fan. Milla Jovovich is beautiful, and had a really tough character to play, and she nailed it down perfectly, and made a potentially boring and bland character, to a very interesting one!, she didn't have much dialog but she had presence and a wicked character!, i loved her. Ian Holm is fantastic as the Father, he was fascinating, and was really into his character, i liked him a lot. Chris Tucker is annoying here for the most part, and over did it badly, its a shame since he is a funny guy. Brion James( General Munro) and Tom 'Tiny' Lister Jr(President Lindberg ) are both great with what they had to do. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5
