The Fifth Element review
Advantages: Good story, wacky costumes, gorgeous visuals
Disadvantages: None
The Fifth Element is a sci-fi fantasy action film written and directed by Luc Besson (who also directed Leon) and stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm and Milla Jovovich.
Set 300 years in the future, cab driver and former special forces soldier Korben Dallas (Willis) is going about his day when a woman comes crashing through the roof of his taxi and asks for help. He obliges, and loses the heat that were following her. He soon finds out that ...
...been sent here to save the universe.
Every 5000 years, when the planets are in alignment, a great evil appears, and will kill every living thing it comes across. So the fifth element, along with the other four elements (which are stones with lines carved into them) have to travel to a special site in Egypt which focuses their power and turns the fifth element into a very powerful weapon. If the evil gets there before them, light will turn to dark, ...

Bug war!
Advantages: Awesome scifi war movie adapted from a novel
Disadvantages: Could have been a bit longer
The Earth is coming under a new alien threat from bugs! They even drop a meteor on Brazil (an idea they stole from Jerry Niven's novel Footfall) and the worlds Governments decide that a hard miltary strike back at them is the only solution. Paul Verhoeven is an excellent director. I liked this and I'd also previously liked Total Recall which he also directed. Micheal Ironside is truly brilliant in this and very well cast in his role indeed. He always ...
...a change he's actually a good guy. He gets some excellent lines, some seriously good action fight scenes and gets to die in an action filled way. The soccer type scene was stolen from at least 2 other movies (one starring Dean Cain and Wesley Snipes which I can't remember the tile of, and it also looked a bit like the really rubbish remake of Rollerball). The chunky blond chap who looks like a young Gary Busey (the one who gets a knife in the hand ...

movie that changed my childhood
Advantages: is a collectors item and a classic all time special
Disadvantages: old movie with apaling special effects
this movie was one of the first i ever owned on vhs as a child, i watched it over and over about 100 times. Its extremely funny as the combination of will smith that plays a very funny character and his partner the serious stereotypical FBI agent looking. The two characters end up having a very deep connection as they both work together and experience life at great risk fighting aliens. The movie also has parts of romance in it where another face ...

Be afraid...yet again!
Advantages: A brilliant scene underwater
Disadvantages: The CGI aliens are a poor relation to the costumes
The fourth installment in the Alien saga and in many ways a change from the original format. The original two films in particular had the air of suspense about them...you knew that aliens would be there....but we knew so little about them that we let our imaginations run wild! In this film the Aliens are bred on purpose, cloned from a resurrected Ripley (brilliantly played by Sigourney Weaver). The film uses the traditional costume for the Alien, ...
...resurrect her, they want the Alien and the technological and biological advances it will obviously bring. Lots of people I know didnt enjoy this film as it was such a step away from the tense suspense thriller elements of the first two and in some respects the third too. Me, I enjoyed it a lot. I like the pacey action feel to it and I loved what they had done with Ripley! The supporting cast are well chosen, especially Winona Ryder who plays the ...
