The Fifth Element 4k Ultra-HD [Blu-ray] [2020]

Favourite film, with 4k UHD, whats not too love.

If you know this film, then you know just how good it is, now in 4K, it’s even better.Set in the future, Corbin Dallas (Bruce Willis) is a retired veteran who now drives a cab in Future New York. Unbeknownst to him, he is about to ally with a supreme being known as the Fifth Element (Milla Jojovich) that is responsible for the protection of Earth, alongside Vitto Cornelius (the late Sir Ian Holm) and David (Charlie Creed Miles) must race to find the four stones needed to save life, the four elements that go around the Fifth Element.However, easier said than done, trying to prevent the Earth from being protected, is Zorg (Gary Oldman) a shady corporate man who wants to help the Evil that wants to annihilate Earth.Other performances from Chris Tucker. Lee Evans, Tom Lister Jr, and Briton James with a Cameo from the late Luke Perry make for a terrific movie.More than that, With legendary Director Luc Besson (Leon) makes this film a worthwhile watch

This is a reference and demo level disk. Picture quality is very rich, colour pops from screen and is very razor sharp. Atmos is also great - all channels working to create very involving experience. One of the absolutely stunning 4K releases, a must own especially if you enjoy this 1997 classic.

Having owned the previous 4K release, I really wasn't impressed: the image looked as though it had been badly upscaled - turning the grain in the picture into distracting noise which arguably hid any additional detail that 4K should have brought rather than enhanced it. Then there was the dreadful, tinny 7.1 soundtrack which was so poorly mixed that it made centre channel audio (such as voices) inaudible in places... it made an otherwise great movie a thoroughly unenjoyable experience.This release, on the other hand, has been done properly! The picture is sharp, but still includes grain that isn't distracting, and brings out details that you didn't notice before. The colours pop brightly, creating a stunning new visual pallet that is still faithful to the cinematic presentation, only enhanced. The new Atmos soundtrack has cleared up the centre channel and ditched the tinny distortions that haunted the previous release, bringing with it deep, meaty basses that really make action sequences enjoyable. Bravo!

Good 4K transfer and sound. Gary Oldman is awesome in this but Chris Tucker’s character Ruby Rhod is terrible with the most annoying voice ever.. I felt I wanted to switch off when their character was on screen. Good plot otherwise and storyline with some nice action thrown in for good measure. Costume design by Jean Paul Gaultier and directed by Luc Besson.

Good product

Sublime Picture definitely for 4k collectors.

Like the fact that you have both the blue-ray and the 4k discs.
