Well, I started to look at the 5th Element as an attempt for a more or less literal attempt to transscribe a space fantasy comic book into a film. As such, it works. A lot of elements are over the top, no matter what (the military guys dying in the freezer within two or three minutes, the insufferable radio host, to give but two examples), but that'd also be part of the comic book style. It doesn't elevate the film to a special status, it remains a pulpy type of story, but at least it took the edge off for me so I could appreciate it for what it is, even the silly parts.

Just watched "Incredible`s 2" By far way better then the first. We own it now. For animated films, This takes it. How so? I have not seen it, but the first one was probably the best (and defiantly in the top 3) of Pixar movies.

I saw an excellent Sci-fi film last night that came out this year--Annihilation. Though it was a derivative work, borrowing from Tarkovski's works such as Stalker and Solaris, as well as a little 2001, it had a neat concept of its own, too. I even got a neat Hyperion vibe for a minute in one scene.

Mila Kunis, ugh...
How about Valerian? Anyone see that? I love Luc Besson(some of his stuff) but I've avoided the film due to mixed reviews and the potential for nonsensical action. The Fifth Element had a fair bit of action, but also had plenty of slower dialogue and comedy heavy scenes--and great characters, which helps it stay fresh and quite enjoyable, even so many years later. Seems just about everyone loves "The Fifth Element" but I hated the movie when I saw it at the theater and I haven't been able to sit through a viewing when I tried to give it another chance at home. Wheels Ditto, except for the seeing it in theater.
