Feat. Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Milla Jovovich, Ian Holm

Aroview: Whether you think it's a gorgeous sci-fi masterpiece or narcissistic fluff, French director Luc 'Nikita' Besson's multi-million dollar space opera at least looks as good as BLADE RUNNER and 2001.

It's also indebted to the fashion of Jean-Paul Gaultier, the comics of Mobius and the gifted ham of Gary Oldman, but be warned, Luc apparently wrote this thing at the tender age of 16...

4 stars (Very Good) A decent and visually very cool 1990s sci fi from Besson, who takes a much more Hollywood approach to his futuristic world this time around (compare Le Dernier), starring Willis and the always half-naked lady Jovovich. ~Tom H

5 stars (Exceptional) It may not be for everyone, but its style, action, intelligence and heart, make, for me, an incredibly loveable and endlessly entertaining sci-fi adventure. ~Wizzums

4 stars (Very Good) The continuous action is above all entertaining. Some bizarre characters help & among the chaos, the performance of Milla Jovovich stood out. Some interesting special effects & design work played their part with the aerial street scenes a highlight. ~Tubbs
