Customer Ratings & Reviews

My daughter has owned this movie on DVD since it first came out so I've seen it and I enjoyed it a lot. My daughter is always so delighted by the visuals and the acting. I enjoy the story a lot. My son, who bought this, has recently gotten into steel books. I think the special art on this one is incredibly nice and I hope the artist was amply compensated.

This is a visually stunning movie with some great scenes (and some faults too), but you will have fun watching it. I picked up the steelbook because I like them, although I was hoping it might have a digital copy code inside (it does not). Still totally worth it at less than $10.

One of my quirky faves, from the director of La Femme Nikita & the Professional. New York Cab Driver Korben Dallas in full effect.

Brief movie analysis: It's awesome. If you don't have it, buy it. Quirky, wonderful effects combine with a lovely and unique undertone to produce an adventurous, philosophical, action-packed, romantic screwball comedy the likes of which we'd never before seen, and haven't seen since. 1: The sound is amazing. That deliberately extends to the outstanding music that gives this movie it's quirky energy. It's a night and day difference in some scenes. The movie is more dynamic now. 2: The film looks different. Normally, we know what a director wants his film to look like. The 5th Element? Nobody has a clue, but we all agree that it gave us the absolute finest "look at my cool TV" freeze-frame of all time. I find it amusing that both Blade Runner and this film (clearly a touch inspired by the former's cityscapes) suffer from being released so many times that nobody knows what they're supposed to look like anymore. This release features altered balances, which lend it a warmer appearance. Reds and yellows are ever so slightly more saturated, but not too far. Detail is actually enhanced in both light and shadow. So, know that it's warmer. If you've been wearing out your first-release copy for all these years, you may feel a bit jolted, but give it a chance. You'll probably like it. At this point, this is one of the few films that comes down to personal opinion and preference until the director tells us different. Should you buy this as a fan of the film or theater in general? Absolutely. It's a must-have; but like Blade Runner, you're never really going to sit down and be able to decide once and for all which is your favorite release. All that said: I could almost swear they left Mila's famous close-up alone. Right on the ledge; where we all pause to photograph a television or show it off. If they touched it, they were careful. LOL

An amazing movie. It’s now considered a classic, but it for sure deserves the cult classic must watch label.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I have it on vhs, 3 DVD versions, and now 3 Blu Ray versions. The picture quality on this release is spectacular. Super crisp, excellent detail, the color pops. I'm only using a sound bar and sub woofer so I can't say how much the sound is improved. It sounds great on what I have.

The Fifth Element is one of the weirdest movies you’ll ever see. This movie was shot in an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 so expect black bars on the top and bottom. The picture quality is excellent preserving every detail possible. The audio track is gust as good as the picture, illustrating the world that is presented.

I love this movie. It's a great balance of corny and action, and the cast is great!

Really good movie and it is very clear especially as being an old movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

One of the greatest cult/pulp, not-so-guilty pleasure movies out there. So imaginative and fun, with characters you'll instantly fall in love with and a world you'll instantly be fascinated by. Great cover art on the steelbook emulating the graphic novel feel of the movie. A must see for any sci-fi fan!

One of my favorites! Just traded up from a dvd version. Using my new blu-ray player

This is The 5th Element in 4K Ultra High Definition! What an amazing movie!!!

Got it on a Black Friday sale, couldn’t pass it. It is one of my favorite movies ever, a must have.

Such a classic, and the quality of this movie in 4k considering how old the movie is was finominal!

Got this at a great price, keep an eye out for the sales on 4k movies. I never pay full price

Can't go wrong when selecting this great comedy/action movie, with a plus in HDR & Dolby Atmos

I saw this in the bargain bin at my Best Buy and grabbed it because I remembered the fun of watching Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker hamming it up in a fun movie with great special effects twenty years ago! Milla Jovovich is beautiful and plays the quirky alien with enthusiasm. And there are lots of great supporting actors (Luke Perry, Tiny Lister, Ian Holm) but Chris Tucker (pre-Rush Hour days) and Bruce Willis at the height of his action movie career, teamed with the always interesting Gary Oldman will make you want to watch it over and over. Well worth the price!!

I'm not a fan of steelbooks as I think they are just trying to get people to keep buying old movies. However, I do love the way that this one looks and it was on sale. This movie is probably my all time favorite as it will never get old. Disc was in great shape.

Great movie, did you know mel gibson almost played the lead? How crazy is that..

This is one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies of all time, up there next to die hard. It’s a fun sci fi action/adventure film and Chris tucker steals the show with his character ruby rod, he chews up every scene that he is in and you can tell he had fun with this role.
