After Leon, this might be my second favourite film from director Luc Besson, this film takes place far in the future in a very different world and I will say the world-building in this film is the best part as immediately you understand and buy the world/universe this film is based in. The entire cast in this film is amazing as they all have fun with their roles (I should mention this is a very fun film) with standouts being Bruce Willis (Korben Dallas), Milla Jovovich (Leeloo) who I usually am not a big fan of and of course I have to mention Gary Oldman (Zorg) who steals every scene he is in.
The movie is filled with sci-fi cliches but it is so well made that you can see how it helped to inspire a lot of the sci-fi films that came after, especially the Star Wars Prequels which after watching this you will notice how much they copied this film and badly for that matter. I love this film and I urge all cinema watchers to watch this film.
Added: I want to add that all of the visual effects hold up in this film and I know that is probably down to the fact that it doesn't rely on CGI and more practical effects.
