Editorial Reviews:
New York cab driver Korben Dallas didn't mean to be a hero, but he just picked up the kind of fare that only comes along every five thousand years: A perfect beauty, a perfect being, a perfect weapon. Now, together, they must save the world. Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman star in acclaimed director Luc Besson's outrageous sci-fi adventure, an extravagantly styled tale of good against evil set in an unbelievable twenty-third century world.

Summary: Great HD remastering
Comment: 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 included.

Summary: Can't get enough
Comment: 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.

Summary: Classic movie just got better
Comment: 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!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent on every level
Comment: I just bought a blu-ray player, and thought this would make for a good inaugural disk. I've enjoyed watching this in SD, and hoped the high def version would be even better.
Happy to say I was not at all disappointed. The video and sound are both excellent -- it's a great way to see what your blu-ray play can deliver.
There are, however, no extras on the disk - just the movie. But the movie alone is well worth the price of admission. If you're a science fiction fan, a Bruce Willis fan, a Mila Jovovich fan, or just a fan of a fun film that has been treated to an excellent Blu ray transfer, you will not regret this purchase.

Summary: a Film for Generations
Comment: I want to say first this Is the greatest B movie of the Decade.
Why rehash the plot for you again?
I will say this movie will get dusted off every generation for a long time to come.
If you have not seen It do yourself a favor and get to a rental store promptly. If you have and now perhaps have a widescreen TV-again I say do yourself a favor and watch It again. In It's original presentation this movie Is fantastic to watch and with a big enough budget for a classic they produced one! The special effects are seamless even the one's taking place on earth where It's harder to make realistic.
Unless you just plain hate Sci-Fi this movie has something for everyone to love.
Bruce Willis picked this movie when he was still on the very top list In Hollywood. It may not be Bladerunner but It Is a runnerup.
Being In Blu Ray makes the movie perfect and deserving of the full 5 stars.
