I have the Fifth Element in pretty much every optical version it came out in and I'd have to say it looks stunning in HD. The props and things for a lot of it are cartoonish, tacky, and plastic. I think it was kinda a comic book way to look at the future and besides, it had a whole sense of humor about itself through the whole thing with a kinda serious subject, probably one of the reasons it a cult classic now and a reference movie for both video and audio as well.
