Re-visiting Luc Besson's science fiction film, The Fifth Element, from 1997 was a weird experience. I had memories that I loved the film. However, when I queried my brain database all that would return was some vague fragments of the visual style. Watching it again, I can understand why that was all I remembered as that's really the only strengths for me. Visually it is stunning. There are some really neat music choices too. However, the story takes you all over the place and it's ultimately just too silly to be considered a great film. I had fun when I'd turn off my brain and just enjoy the performances and the vision of this future.
