This is an excellent 4K movie. The visual effects will impress any enthusiastic movie aficionados. The story is well written, and the actors are best of the best, in every scene.This will easily go in the collection, of great movies. Thank you Best Buy.

Cool steel book art, old, blurry, transfer.

So I went to Best Buy today and picked up the new steel book. I pop the Blu ray in and the beginning of the movie outside in the desert is all riddled with dirt. I watch about 45 minutes and just think the image is soft. I get out my original Blu ray, the second Blu Ray release in the USA with the better transfer which is AVS encoded. It looks like Sony used the old, blurrier, upconverted inferior transfer instead that is MPEG encoded. I'm pretty bummed. I payed $15 for a steel book with and old, outdated transfer. Nice screw up Sony.

I saw this in the bargain bin at my Best Buy and grabbed it because I remembered the fun of watching Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker hamming it up in a fun movie with great special effects twenty years ago! Milla Jovovich is beautiful and plays the quirky alien with enthusiasm. And there are lots of great supporting actors (Luke Perry, Tiny Lister, Ian Holm) but Chris Tucker (pre-Rush Hour days) and Bruce Willis at the height of his action movie career, teamed with the always interesting Gary Oldman will make you want to watch it over and over. Well worth the price!!

Avoid this problematic release like the plague. Instead, be certain that you are buying the remastered re release of this title. While the box art for this remastered edition is nearly identical to the earlier Blu-ray release, the words "Experience High Definition" appear in silver foil, (not gray), and Dolby TrueHD is listed among the audio tracks on the back of the box on the new edition.

As others have said, this is not the version of this movie you want. Absolutely terrible transfer. Picture quality is not up to par.

As I alluded to in my Blade Runner UHD review, I have owned this movie on many formats over the years. I really enjoy this movie and find it highly rewatchable, so I haven't minded re-buying it every 5 years or so... but I think that cycle may finally be at an end. This UHD disc is a PROPER release, definitive in terms of audio and video, pretty much at the limits of what the source material can provide... like having your very own lovingly-preserved 35mm print at home! I can't count how many times I've watched The Fifth Element, and yet I found myself spotting new little details I had never noticed before (e.g. the Diva isn't just blue, she's also SPARKLY - but don't look too close or you might see the seam where her latex headgear blends into her makeup/body paint). And as an added bonus, the steelbook packaging is super-cool, much better than the fairly lame cover art on past releases.
I'll try not to ramble too much about the movie itself... it really resonates with me, but may not be for everyone. It is kind of tough to categorize... futuristic sci-fi action comedy, I guess? Some may be put off by the humor, which is occasionally flat-out goofy... but for me it all just somehow works. There is some great dialogue, and the action and (most of) the effects are very solid. The story is archetypical "hero must prevent the end of the world" stuff, but the way it is presented manages to make it feel fresh. And the casting/performances are perfect. For me, the movie would be worth watching for any of Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, or Chris Tucker's individual performances alone (not to mention the young and very lovely Milla Jovovich), but when you put them all together in one movie, it really becomes something special. Even the minor characters, played by folks like Brion James, Tricky, Tommy Lister, and Lee Evans all just feel perfectly cast.
In summary - this is a UHD release I would highly recommend.

Like the title says, it looks terrible. I have the re mastered bluray version too and tried both my 4k bluray and re mastered bluray on both my Tv's and the 4k version looked very bad on both of them. The player I am using is a Samsung UBD-K8500 and the tv's I have are a Samsung UN65JS8500 and a LG 65 OLED E6 tv which happens to be the main Living room tv. Both of the tvs experience a very dirty sandy look on the actors faces vs the re mastered and cheaper Bluray version I got a year ago. I am very disappointed with this, I did everything I could to clean up the image like reducing the sharpness on both tv's and lowering down the contrast which did help a lot but you could still see this haze of blurryness.
On the Samsung I was able to fix the picture a lot better by selecting BD-wise as a video encoding option on my 4k bluray player which unfortunately only works on Samsung tv's that have that feature but the picture was acceptable.
On my LG OLED E6 in the other hand with the same player, keep in mind I have two of the same k8500 players one for each tv, getting back to the review, i had to do a lot more work on the TV's end just to make it viewable.
I Dont recommend this version to anyone, I love the movie A LOT but I just couldn't stand what Sony did to the 4k disc version, it's like they didn't even try to make it look better.
I had The same experience with the 4k ULTRA versions of the Original Ghost Busters movies and the Laberynth movie as well, the Blurays were fine though just like the remastered one I have of the fifth element.
Since this is the 3rd time I get a terrible copy of a great movie, I'm personally gonna stay away from the older movies from 1990 and bellow as 4k Ultra "remastered" movies and just buy the cleaner Bluray versions from now on when it comes to those older movies of course.
However do not get discouraged with the newer 4k Ultra movies like Enders Game, DeadPool or Assassins creed as those look Amazing on both my Tv's. You can clearly see the costume stitching on DeadPool and you can see Harrison Ford's facial pores and wrinkles on his neck with the 4k Ultra movies lol!

Awesome packaging. I love getting the steelbook versions when I can get them. I think the movie could use a true remaster and updating, I was sorta let down watching it on my 4k tv
