 Best in SciFi June 22, 2008
This movie rocks. you can't beat Chris Tucker's performance. I wacth this over and over.
Blue over gold June 16, 2008
this film was really beautifull, now with Blu-ray it becomes a work of art. I'm glad to be able to buy Blu-ray DVD's in amazon even from portugal. The only thing that is not so good is the fact that the subtitles are in brasilian insted of being in portuguese. never the less it is great to buy on AMAZON
An A-list B-movie. June 12, 2008
Amazon tends to blend reviews together- so first let me note I'm talking about the standard DVD Ultimate Edition of the movie.
This is one of the most instantly quotable, most visually memorable, frenetic space operas ever committed to film. I recently re-watched the film with my fiancee. The first thing I noticed was that the film is still as fresh as it was at release- absolutely nothing about the film shows its age (though it's not exactly old anyway). The second was just how consistently good this film is. Both of us were constantly saying, "This next scene is my favorite scene" only to correct that when the next great scene came up, and so on, and so on. The ultimate realization is that virtually every single scene in the film is funny, relevant, and drives the plot forward- and that's what a great film is made of. Seeing "Tiny" Lister in his turn as the President of Earth should be enough of a clue as to just how off-beat and funny this film is.
What do you get in the Ultimate Edition? Not much really. The star of the package is still the film itself. Nothing has been re-edited or re-mastered or re-anything in the film, but then again, nothing at all needed upgraded anyway. There are lots of featurettes, including dissections of all the characters with interviews and even some screen tests (men may want to note the drool-worthy screen tests of Milla Jovovich). A good selection of documentaries are also included, and most notable is the feature talking about the visual design. The sets and futuristic aspects of the film are as much of a character as Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) and crew. "The Visual Element" goes all the way back to the roots of French artist moebius to tell exactly how the designs came about- film students need to give this documentary segment repeated viewings.
Now go out and get this movie! Go! Bzzzz! Bzzz-zzz! (...you need to see this movie)
Just a fun movie June 9, 2008
This movie is just damn fun to watch. Bruce Willis is the typical action hero who is basically unstoppable, and the movie is definitely cheesy at times, but this movie is just an overall fun experience.
The Fifth Element June 7, 2008
I'm very happy with the high quality of the disc. This is one of my favorite films and to see it in such sharpness and clearness was like seeing it for the first time. This is one of many I plan to buy.
