It does have a plot
She is the Fifth Element and they must protect her. Simple.You haven't seen it enough. Pop over on the way back from getting fired and I'll show you.

i remember the plot, a giant asteroid appears, some aliens from the past come to help us but some other aliens blow them up. bruce willis has to get the 5th element to egypt with some stones etc
they obviously thought of all the things to put in it and then made a plot up as a way to get all the cool things together.....

He hasn't been fired again has he?

Bruce Willis blowing shit up - Check
Milla Jovovich looking fine - Check
Gary Oldman stealing every scene with a performance so over the top it's brilliant - Check
Fight scene set to futuristic Opera, sung by a blue-skinned alien that's concealing the stones of power within her body - Win.
What's not to love?
(apart from Chris Tucker's irritating voice, that is)

No - the plot is simple and the cool things happen as an essential part of it. You've got it backarsewards.

I love it. Must've seen it seven or eight times at the cinema. Mainly, I admit, because my 16-year-old self was pathetically infatuated with Milla Jovovich, but my full-grown self finds much to admire in the production design, Gary Oldman and that fight scene as well. Oh, and it has Die Hard condensed into five minutes.
Yeah but it also has Ian Holm in it

Oh, and I believe the plot was dreamed up by Luc Besson when he was a teenager, which would explain a lot. Spaceships! Cool fights! An evil ball of... stuff! The perfect being turning out to be a hot Ukranian model who saves the universe with the power of love.

"We're sending somebody in to negotiate!"
Blam.
"Where'd he learn to negotiate like that?"

Forgot to add - that sequence (in TFE, not DH!) where Bruce Willis keeps trying to hide everyone in his apartment is comedy gold.
Another beautiful movie

Didn't like it. Crap. Can see why some people enjoy it but its def not for me.
I like my sci-fi t be have taught, clever plots and/or mind fucking ideas and technology. Fith Element is way too camp and silly for my tastes. And I cant stand Gary Oldham doing his scenary chewing, hammy, bollocks

I want to watch it again but must save it until the stars align as I don't want to use it up and wear it out.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Very pretty. Far from a classic, but enjoyable enough

Really like it, but also like Bladerunner with talkover and Teminator Salvation so my recommendation counts low!
