Sometimes, a good science fiction epic comes from almost out of nowhere and becomes an instant classic. It happened with Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. I and Pitch Black. It happened with Alien and Predator. But those movies also launched franchises or are a part of one. When The Fifth Element came out in 1997, there was just about nothing like it. In fact, some critics heralded it as “the next Star Wars.” In some ways, there still hasn’t been a film like this one.
