The first time I watched this, it was one of those six-star things that you could take or leave. Yes, it had all the elements (except the fifth) that make for a good shoot-um-up space thing. But I just looked at it as an action movie.
For some reason, this movie can grow on you, and you find yourself anticipating the next move. Then you see things that you did not see the first time. Then you start to mouth the words. Soon, this turns into a ten-star movie with a plot, good guys, bad guys, and good bad guys. Soon, you start looking in your auto-wash to see if you left anything in there.
An ancient threat of doom looms over the earth. An ancient religion keeps the secret of the doom, and the secret of the defense (the fifth element). Prophecy turns into reality, and it is up to Major Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) to find the fifth element and save the Earth.
Will he be able to do this, and at what emotional expense?
What is the fifth element?
