Upgrade over previously-released Blu-Rays

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Fifth Element was one of the earlier Blu-Rays (2006) and had its share of problems. In 2007 it was released as a Remastered disc which improved on many of those issues.

In 2015, it was released under sony's new "Remastered in 4K" series in 2 different formats: A Blu-Ray only version and a "Supreme Cinema" series which includes a book. Both versions include the SAME disc.. the supreme cinema series only includes a book alongside it.

Owning several versions of The Fifth Element on VHS, DVD, Superbit DVD, UMD, Digital download and all 3 Blu-Rays.. I definitely prefer the current Blu-Ray.

Video-wise, I found it to be a slight upgrade over the earlier blu-rays (it's a bit more vibrant, but other than that it's not too noticeable)
Audio-wise, it now includes a 7.1 Dolby Atmos soundtrack which was amazing (and sounded like an upgrade even on a non-atmos setup compared to the 2011 release)
Extras-wise, it includes all of the features available from the DVD that never made it to blu-ray (on the downside, they're not in HD).

In the end, is it worth it?
I hear the Supreme Cinema book has its issues, but the standalone release comes in a nice slipcover and normal blu-ray case, looks better, sounds better, has a bunch of extras and is definitely affordable.

You won't see the same upgrade as in other titles like Leon (regular blu ray vs. re-release) but for a fan, I'm not disappointed. I find it to be the best version of the film so far.

Disappointed that the Digital copy was not UHD digital.

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

I liked the movie, especially in 4K, however I had made the choice to get this movie since the implied digital copy seemed to be the UHD version. I was disappointed when I redeemed the digital copy that it was only the HDX version and not the UHD version. I feel they (movie studios/retailers) need to be explicit on what quality the digital copy being provided is, i.e. SD, HDX, or UHD. I feel that if you are buying the 4K UHD blue ray version of the movie and the digital copy is included in the package, then it should be also be the same quality of the movie, (UHD).

Don't get me wrong ~ this is one of my favorite movies. I bought this because it was 4K and had a digital code with it. Received it on 9 March 2020. When I went to enter the digital code it didn't work, WHY? It EXPIRED on 31 December 2019.

Don’t waste your money on the 4K version

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Let me get this out of the way first - I love this movie. I’ve had several different versions of it over the years and all were great quality. And then there was 4K. I honestly don’t know how the authors of this conversion can live with themselves for putting out a subpar product. The noise is absolutely insane in this thing. It’s just horrible.

The fix, just play the standard Blu-ray version and let your TV or player upconvert to 4K. It looks so much better than the 4K version I can’t even express it.

Bruce and Milla and CGI galore

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2017

At least my fifth viewing...maybe 50th if all the pieces of it I've seen here and there were to be added up.

Pretty dang perfect experience. Something this good doesn't age quickly -- and it helps that it has all future settings with advanced sci-fi tech, so that won't age for a long time, eh?

Meanwhile, all the actors are so young now. Hard to believe the years have passed.

I bought it.

7-5-17 6th viewing a mere few weeks later.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, I can't get enough of this film. I so deserve to be sued. I just indulge in this one. And even now I saw things I never noticed before. Really quite the amazing artwork in all the categories. So many of the "moments" imprint my mind. The cab diving down across traffic, Zorg's forehead blood, LeeLoo's first costume, LeeLoo talking to Bruce in the cab, the Diva's singing, the long scream under the pool table, and on and on. If you have never seen this film -- don't ever have an opinion about it around a water cooler -- you can't imagine this from there -- see it.

Highly edit for content with large parts of the story missing. Real shame!

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019

This is a great movie but this edition is unwatchable as it has huge chunks edited out. This is a problem with most of the movies I have watched on Amazon prime. What is the idea? Very disappointed in Amazon Prime Video as a whole. More people need to complain about the editing of content and the fact it ruins the story line and is an insult.

Great sci-fi because it mixes the conventional evil force from outespace with comedy

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

The Fifth Element was a great comedy sci-fi film flick written and directed by Luc Besson. It centers around an evil force that appears in the universe threatening to destroy everything. Only the Fifth Element who turns out to be a woman named Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) can stop it. The problem, she’s on the run and finds a down and out cab driver and former soldier named Korben (Bruce Willis). The story was based upon the odd couple duo of those two characters. Korben was a loser and Leeloo was supposed to be perfection. Could Korben help Leeloo to accomplish her destiny or would he screw things up?

The reason why the story was so good was that it mixed conventional sci fi tropes like giant aliens landing in Egypt in 1914 to take the Fifth Element off of the Earth and to warn of the coming of evil with pure comedy like a drugged out thief coming to Korben’s apartment and not knowing that his gun wasn’t loaded. It makes it a one of a kind movie.

Se pierde gran interés en la película con el redoblaje al español por parte de los argentinos Diego Brizzi & Pablo Gandolfo para esta versión de Sony Pictures. En México el doblaje con Mario Castañeda como Bruce Willis y Alfonso Obregón como Ruby Rhod es único. Si no tienen problema con esta situación, la calidad de imagen y audio es impecable.

*Existe un video en Youtube titulado "El Quinto Elemento comparación doblaje latino"

Nothing can compare!

Fifth Element is The Best Movie Ever as far as I'm concerned. But then again, opinions are like your backside.... split in the middle. It is a very specific type of quirky, so very likely not everyone's cup of tea. The style is very nouveau-artistic, and is a fantastic backdrop to a story set in the far future that is honestly a lot more believable that most sci-fi movies out there. It is neither all gleaming and shiny nor totally dark and desperate, but very much like a modern life, where there are rich people that have everything they want, and scoundrels living in the dark corners as bottom-feeders, and everything in between. And of course McDonalds have survived! Bruce Willis plays a tongue-in-cheek cab-driver of a flying cab, and the story unfolds with some more fantastical elements including aliens and the ultimate baddy of course. So guess-who has to save the day, and does so with his hilarious side-kick, Mr Supergreen - Ruby Rod! Save the day, save the world, save the girl, get the girl! You know the drill. :)

DAS FUENFTE ELEMENT (4K UHD)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a review of the German 4K release of the Fifth Element. I chose that version because the movie wasn’t released in 4K in the UK and the US release comes with a region A locked Blu-ray which I wouldn’t be able to play. If like me you don’t have any language skills the potential down side is that the disk menus are in German and the default Audio is German Dolby Atmos. However its really easy to switch to English Atmos, and you also get the option of the special effects crew commentary soundtrack, which is missing on the US 4K release.

This is a twenty year old movie shot on film so there is some grain, more noticeable in some shots than others but generally quite light. Some of the effects shots are a bit dated (although most still look great). There’s a ton of detail visible, particularly in close ups. However it’s the HDR and wide colour gamut that really impress; if you can watch this on a good OLED display the colours are just spectacular, vibrant, gorgeous and bursting with sheer wow factor. The Atmos soundtrack absolutely rocks too; big and bold throughout.

I think the Blu-ray disk has the “re-mastered in 4K” version of the movie; the image is obviously only in HD but is still quite impressive. It’s just that the colours look a bit faded once you’re seen the 4K version. The Blu-ray does have all the same sound options so you do get Dolby Atmos. There are well over three hours of extras too. I’ve found a translated summary of the disc menus, which might be useful:

Best from Besson

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 3, 2017

An excellent work of humour, with a multitude of stars in the cast, it is well worth watching and is still funny if viewed repeatedly. The cast features prominent stars from the UK, USA and Europe all clothed by Jean-Paul Gaultier. The director Luc Besson artfully blends the futuristic and humorous plot to create a spectacular take on the not too distant future, injected with a universal irony and circumstantial humour to create an artful blend of entertainment suitable for young and old alike. I would recommend you see this at least once.

Top Bild und bombastischer Sound !

Reviewed in Germany on January 30, 2018

Rezension 4k UHD Bluray: sagenhafte Bildqualität aber noch sagenhaftere Tonqualität! Deutscher Ton in Dolby Atmos / Dolby True HD 7.1. Vorher nie einen vergleichbar wuchtigen Sound gehört. Wenn der AV Receiver die entsprechenden Codier Systeme an Bord hat, wie z. B. mein Sony DN STR-1080 ist der Sound einfach umwerfend. Der Subwoofer hat über alle Maßen viel zu tun aber auch die Stimmen und Musik klingen einfach phantastisch. Bild in 4k HDR auf Sony UHD TV über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Eigentlich mehr als 5 Sterne und das obwohl der Film ja schon etwas älter ist.
