Amazon.com essential video:
Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero--what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson's high-octane film incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens. Bruce Willis stars as a down-and-out cabbie who must win the love of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) to save Earth from destruction by Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) and a dark, unearthly force that makes Darth Vader look like an Ewok. --Geoff Riley

- Finally in HD!
I'm a sci-fi junkie. There are few one-off movies worth watching more than once and this is one of them. I've loved this movie since seeing it way back when in the theater. That being said, I've seen this move... a lot!

This was my second Blu-ray purchase. Given the number of times I've seen this film and my eye for detail in media I have to say this is a vast improvement over any copy of this movie you have seen. The colors are really, sharp, the background pops, and you'll notice things you had never seen before - the whole point of owning ANY movie in HD.

If you're a fan of the movie it is a must have!

- Great HD remastering
Some Blu Ray remasterings or reissues of prior DVDs can leave one a litte "so?", but with some movies -- "The Fall", "Baraka", and the "Fifth Element", you will remember why you bought that HD TV in the first place.

Those of us who liked or loved this movie really enjoyed the plot, the vivid colors, and the special effects for reasons other reviewers have touched on.

However, the colors are even more vivid, the soundtrack more lush, and the special effects litterally jump off the screen. The early scenes of Leeloo jumping off the building and falling into Corbin Dallas' cab is particularly amazing, as is that whole cop chase CG sequence.

If you loved the movie on DVD, this will knock your socks off. It is a really first class production that will really show off your home theater. However, it seems to be missing some of the features of the reissue DVD, which should have been ... Read More

- Can't get enough
This is a favourite of mine. Got it on VHS, 2 DVDs and now Blu-Ray. I love Sci-Fi and this is very cool. Besson is a great director and he has hit the right tone here. As a fan of Willis, I think he has hit it right on the money here: not a lot of that die hard stuff, but you can't really kill him either. Tucker, of course, is a loudmouth, and here his character actually fits the actor.
And Milla? Well.. what can I say. The best element of all.
Another example of great French cinema.

The Blu-Ray version is very crisp and a delight to watch. Glad I've spend some more money on another version.

- Classic movie just got better
This is one of those movies that I can watch again and again and enjoy it every time.

Thanks to Blu-Ray, I'm enjoying it even more!

The colors are amazing in this transfer! The detail you see in outstanding!
