Review

Besson's Gallic sensibilities serve him well in this sci-fi near-epic starring Willis as a cab driver who saves the world. Corbin Dallas, a decorated ex-soldier, is called upon to do his duty again when a gigantic, indestructible black flame is discovered to be advancing toward the Earth. Luckily, Corbin has the assistance of the Fifth Element, the Supreme Being of the Universe, a very cute — and very deadly — orange-haired alien (Jovovich). Standing in their way is a fey weapons magnate (Oldman) with big buck teeth and an accent to rival Foghorn Leghorn's. The effects and overall visual design of the film are stunning, creating one of the best and most completely conceived future worlds seen on-screen since Blade Runner. Unfortunately, the story itself does not live up to its look and feel. Alternately goofy and flashy — and sometimes too serious for its own good — it succeeds as fantastic popcorn entertainment, but falls short of being a speculative science fiction classic.
