      The Fifth Element (1997)

      THE FIFTH ELEMENT [1997] – Anniversary Trailer

      A classic featuring Bruce Willis, The Fifth Element was frequently utilized to showcase the latest televisions in stores and expos when it came out on DVD and later on Blu-ray, and for good reason: it is a visually stunning cinematic achievement. Set in the futuristic 23rd century, the sci-fi action film follows Korban Dallas (Willis), a taxi driver who unwittingly finds himself tasked with saving Earth from an impending threat. Fortunately, Dallas is also a former special forces officer, equipping him with the skills needed to confront adversaries. Alongside Leeloo (Mila Jovovich), a mysterious young woman who enters his cab, they join forces to battle the cosmic being intent on conquering the planet.

      Heralded as one of the quintessential campy action films, our writer characterizes The Fifth Element as “camp in its purest and most unadulterated form, a guilty pleasure if ever there was one.” He praises its “intentionally over-the-top” narrative as “entirely irresistible.” And who could resist a classic action film featuring Bruce Willis? When combined with sci-fi elements, The Fifth Element becomes one of those films you can watch endlessly.

      I, Robot (2004)

      I, Robot (2004) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

      At a time when Will Smith was gaining recognition as a leading action star, he featured in this sci-fi action film, which could be seen as art mirroring life, especially in today's context of widespread AI in society. In I, Robot, he plays Detective Del Spooner, who is skeptical that Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), the founder of U.S. Robotics, actually took his own life. He suspects that a humanoid robot named Sonny is responsible for Lanning's death, which heightens his distrust of robots.

      The film starkly illustrates the fears surrounding a “robot takeover,” based on a story by Isaac Asimov, and is intensely unsettling. It presents a thought-provoking perspective on the dangers associated with advanced technology. Keeping in mind that the movie is set in the future—specifically, the year 2035—this isn’t too far removed from our current reality. Recognized by our writer as one of the greatest AI films ever made, he commends its exploration of “philosophical questions in AI” and the unique “dilemma of machine ethics,” all while delivering an engaging narrative.

      The Endless (2017)

      THE ENDLESS (2018) Official Trailer | Supernatural Thriller

      A project driven by passion from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, both actors portray brothers Justin and Aaron Smith in The Endless, who opt to revisit a camp they previously attended after receiving a disturbing videotape from the location. The siblings have contrasting memories of their time there, with Justin believing it was a UFO death cult, while Aaron remembers it as a welcoming commune. The only way to uncover the truth is to return. Benson took on the roles of writer, director, and producer for the film, while Moorhead served as the cinematographer.

      Their choice to revisit the camp is motivated by discussions of ascension in the tape, which Justin fears could signify mass suicide. With their everyday lives lacking fulfillment, the brothers embark on a journey filled with strange and perplexing events. The film boasts an impressive 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviewers like Matthew Lickona from San Diego Reader describing it as a “smart, sweetly creepy good time.”
