OK, i was watching TBS this afternoon... of course i've got better things to do but i don't really care cause it's all schoolwork ...
Anyways, said movie ^ was on. i caught it... and well, i must say, that was one awesome movie! So the sci-fi kinda stunk... it was still one heckuva great story, and I loved the lines... like, "Anybody else want to negotiate?"
I was wonderin' if anybody here's watched that movie... I have to say i found it extremely cool... nice effects too, and of course, it's hard to not say a movie's great when it's got a sketchily dressed babe (orange hair notwithstanding, she was still a babe...) in it!

In the unedited version, you get to see her topless.

Not really much to show for though. ~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Fun movie all around, and Gary Oldman excels as Jean. Batpiste. Emmanuel. Zorg.

y'know, i figure reason i liked that movie so much, it was how everything clicked so well in the writing... the characters really fit together well, and the actors were just about perfect for the roles. Admittedly, Milla could've done with a bit more tits, but is nothin' perfect...
i also absolutely loved the way the characters interact-- the priest oh-so-awed by Milla, Bruce the skeptic gunman with his soft spots, Gary Oldman one of the most awesomely intense villians I've ever seen on the screen... man, if I was gonna rate this movie, i'd give it the full hundred percent. Definitely the best i've seen in a LONG time...
Very good movie. "What the hell are you thinking?! Going around screaming like that!!" Pretty much the best line though is "Anyone else wanna negotiate?"
Like has been said, the movie just clicked very well with the right lines, right actors, right everything.

Milla was perfect, and IMO she has a perfect body as well.
"They suggested that such enormously powerful and intellectually refined entities ought to have names with a little more gravitas, to reflect their near-god-like status; the immediate and sustained reaction of one of the Culture's ship manufacturies was to name all its subsequent vessels things like: Stood Far Back When The Gravitas Was Handed Out; Gravitas, What Gravitas?; Gravitas... Gravitas... No, Don't Help Me, I'll Get It In A Moment...; Gravitas Free Zone, etc "

i'll second that. Ruby Rod was absolutely hilarious. plus the fact that mila jovjovich is absolutely hot makes the movie a big plus. The special effects weren't too shabby either. Storyline in general was only so-so imo, as the whole save the world from the evil alien force is a tad cliche, but everything else was great and more than made up for it.

Who else liked that scene where MJ as Leeloo kicked around those aliens like rag dolls?

Nothing sexier than a woman kicking ass.
