I love this movie so much it's _unreal_. What an experience, every single time. And each time I see an article like this, I simply marvel at the immense love for art and life it has. What an incredibly talented crew, what product of mastery and care.

He continued with Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

The Fifth Element has similar cinematic feeling as the first Blade Runner.

And now it is clear. There is the same person behind it :)

Adam Savage covered the Mondoshawan props on his channel last year:

It was a fun film, but Chris Tucker broke the pacing too many times for a general audience. Even now on rottentomatoes his role still distracts focus from the character arcs.

Was a cult classic for sure, but nowhere near Blade Runner as a film. =3

I have fond memories of the Fifth Element, as one of my first PG-13 movies at the cinema that I was allowed to see as a 9-10 year old.

Looking back, the whole story gives a different futuristic feel to the usual gloomy polluted dystopian earths, and feels a bit, "near-future".

Seeing hover cars getting drive through McDonalds will forever be a future hope for me (my inner 10 year old self)
