      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Visually inventive and gleefully over the top, Luc Besson's The Fifth Element is a fantastic piece of pop sci-fi that never takes itself too seriously.

      Duane Byrge Hollywood Reporter Narratively challenged, visually monotonous and aurally overpowering, The Fifth Element is a staggering accretion of all the wrong elements and some rather dopey ones as well. May 10, 2018 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune The Fifth Element has enough eye-appeal for two good movies. Rated: 3/4 May 10, 2017 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal In this movie and many like it, the only elements that count are impact, impact, impact and impact. The fifth element is gibberish. Jul 14, 2014 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review As irresistible—if occasionally annoying—popcorn-munching escapism, The Fifth Element remains an experience of diversionary entertainment, and almost exclusively about rehashing previously explored surfaces with a new sheen. Rated: 3/4 Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Travis Johnson Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) A sci-fi film a million aesthetic miles away from the industrial dystopias, dusty wastelands, and sterile starships of most screen SF of the time. Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...a distinctive Moebius-inspired gumbo that's easy to enjoy... Rated: 4/5 Feb 17, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/22 Full Review Kat Cult classic love the whole movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/22 Full Review Carter C Though it mainly feels like a Star Wars knockoff, this film with fantastic visual effects, cast performances, humor, and story make this a pretty solid sci-fi adventure, even if some characters don’t get enough screen-time or if the ending is too anticlimactic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Leofredo M Exelente filmé....ya no se ven esas visiones en películas recientes.. lastima Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Dionisis T An amazing action movie that I really regret not having seen so long ago...
