When they picked up Leon last year, they managed to best the excellent preceding Sony release, so it's not wholly surprising that the same is the case with The Fifth Element. Studiocanal has a basically faultless track record with regards to these restorations, surprising us with equal measures of classics and cult classics, and giving them all lavish, Dolby Vision-enhanced, treatment. 2020 had a quieter start with just the 4K set of Elephant Man earlier this year, however the recent Flash Gordon 4K set was phenomenal, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was quite a nice surprise earlier in August. Studiocanal's 2019 roster of native 4K restorations boasted The Deer Hunter 4K, Apocalypse Now 4K, Don't Look Now 4K, Angel Heart 4K, and even the Rambo Trilogy 4K, Cliffhanger 4K, Lock Up 4K and Red Heat 4K, with the year capped off by Leon 4K. Studiocanal deliver another outstanding 4K presentation Indeed, few sci-fi action films manage to mix so many colourful - and outright slapstick - moments in a film that you can still get involved in, but The Fifth Element somehow nails it. He'd pull off much the same in Valerian, in terms of design, but unfortunately none of the other elements of that bloated mess would live up to expectations.

Besson nails the visuals too, crafting a playful vision of the future, replete with distinctive weapons and aliens that feel like they've been ripped right out of a comic book. And even though she was distractingly scantily-clad, Jovovich transcends Besson's particular vision and blends innocence, hope, passion and fury into her gorgeous punk role.
The 5th wave bluray movie#
A wonderful - and unique - blend of sci-fi spectacle, comic-book action-adventure, colourful performances and finely-placed humourĭespite golden era Bruce Willis's iconic John McClane style persona perfectly integrating into the outlandish universe, and Gary Oldman going full Oldman in his over-the-top villainous role, the movie really belongs to Milla Jovovich's child-like, flame-haired kick-ass heroine Leeloo.
