Cougar, I had the same feeling when I was told the Scottish government were releasing a universal travel card by the same name. Endless hilarity.

The Fifth Element remains one of my favourite Sci-fi films, gloriously OTT and beautifully realised.

I really enjoyed Subway and Nikita when they came out. Anyone seen them recently, have they dated well?

Watched those, Leon and Le Grand Bleu a couple of years ago. Thought there were all excellent and was wishing for a return to form from him.
This doesn’t look like it will be the kind of thing I was hoping for, but it could still be enjoyable.

I still enjoy 5th Element. Mooltipass/Aziz LIGHT!/another Zorg invention still get used in our house 🙂

Ohhhh Christ !! That trailer ^^ its… its…. just….. CGI 😐

I hope there is a God Damn STORY to follow !!!!

I’m less hopeful.

Is it me or is the music in this trailer ‘Gangster’s Paradise’ by Coolio?

Sounds like it, but it was nabbed by coolio from a Stevie Wonder song.

Clive Owen sounds like a poor man’s Alan Rickman

Reviews are coming out – ”Bad ending, bad acting, but Besson nails that Fifth Element feeling, anyway.” Count me in!

I thought it looked shit, when I saw the trailer the other day. It still amazes how they can make such advanced graphics technology look so naff.

Empire aren’t as positive as the above link:

It looks visually stunning, but the 2 lead characters (especially the male one) just look wrong somehow, he looks like a schoolkid not a secret agent.

😐

So it’s turned out to be a beautiful incoherent mess? TAKE MY MONEY!

Saw this last night.

A solid 3 out of 10. Dane DeHaan Is possibly one of the worst leads EVER in an action film.
he basically killed it for me and I couldn’t take it seriously with his mumbling tones.

CGI was impressive but I’d rather watch 5th element in black & white on a mono 14inch TV than watch this again.

Or the 5th elephant as my wife called it.

Haven’t watched either in years, I did watch the Nikita series, and I even watched the American scene-for-scene remake, for my sins, which was…ok.
Subway was fun, as I recall, but not terribly coherent, my favourite Frence noir film from that period has always been Diva, though.

Nikita is still excellent, as is Leon.
