THE FIFTH ELEMENT (Theatrical Release USA 1997)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

The Fifth Element—one of those rare films that must be seen more than once, twice, or three times because everything about it is fresh, new, beyond creative, perfect in every way—has Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Chris Tucker, and Gary Oldman at the top of their game. High caliber movie for an adult audience completely serves its purpose as a futuristic film that pleases and delights at every level.
