Am watching this now. The visual design is spectacular but the leads have no chemistry, and the dialogue and acting is terrible. It's kind of a boring movie. It does make me want to watch the fifth element though

Rewatching this. Man I love it. But the male lead is like that annoying kid at school who thought he was cool cos he drank cough medicine to get high. He can’t act. He’s insufferable.

I was watching Guardians with my kids the other night and struck by the similarities in the sesthetic sensibilities of that movie and Luc Besson’s style. i wonder if James Gunn cited 5th Element as an influence?

The ship design in particular, with their soft edges and less angular features. Some of the coloring (the bright oranges all over that movie(). I'm thinking of the Kiln and Knowwhere in particular, but that sequence on Zandar where Peter is trying to sell the orb to that antiques collector also feels like something you'd find in one of Besson's sci-fi movies.
