"Everything you create, you use to destroy." I found The Fifth Element to be an extremely enjoyable and entertaining experience; without being the greatest sci-fi film ever, it's bucket loads of fun. The plot is about a great evil that comes to Earth every 5000 years with the intent of destroying it. The only way to combat this evil is using four stones and a "fifth element", a perfect being.

One of my favorite movies of all time! Jean Paul Gaultier did the most amazing job ever with the costumes. The entire environment is so well put together and it's really one of the best futuristic movies there are in that aspect. Not only that but Leeloo is one of the best female leads ever due to the fact that she is both adorable and deadly at the same time.
Yeah, just an amazing movie overall.

After catching the Fifth Element on late the other night, I had a second chance to give this highly tauted film another chance. After my first view some years ago, I was left searching for what element this movie contained that actually lived up to the hype everyone around me brought up. It's another funky, futuristic end of the world scenario with likeable characters, but...why is this one so good? I still don't think I quite understand everyone's fascination just yet, but I did enjoy it a bit...maybe someone can enlighten me a little more?
