Watch the fifth element movie free6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() In a flashback to the year 1914, small-headed aliens called the Mondoshawan (good extra-terrestrials for a change!) descend to Egypt to tell their human contact - a sort of high priest - that evil is at hand. ![]() Something far more ominous than crime and congestion is threatening the planet, however. The Manhattan skyline is clogged with vehicles whizzing around in collision-imminent patterns. These days, driving is a frenetic, airborne activity. The world, as usual, has gone to seed, with a big-brotherly government, mercenary rogues, hostile dog-faced aliens known as Mangalores and a punkish crime lord called Zorg (Gary Oldman). As Korben Dallas, a 23rd-century cabbie from the South Bronx, he assumes the usual Willis characteristics: He’s getting over a woman who burned him, he’s close to the wire (he’s only got five more points left on his license) and he still can’t find a razor. Empowered by his success with the "Die Hard" pictures and "Pulp Fiction," he’s our runaway marquee king. There’s so much high-voltage fun running throughout this comic sci-fantasy - engineered gleefully by director Luc Besson - you’re hard-pressed to be unaffected.īruce Willis can do no wrong these days. But if "The Fifth Element" marks any kind of precedent for the summer, there are grounds for some encouragement. We’re turbo-jetting into Hollywood’s goofyseason, when the spectacular and the stupid (usually within the same movie) will joust for our impulsive favors.
