| Topic | Gauntlet Crew Ranks Sci Fi Films I-2 |
| scarletspeed7 11/26/18 4:45:30 PM #68: | I think when a movie has something to say (and it doesn't have to be particularly profound), it definitely helps bump the ranking over movies like Fifth Element for me. The things that really stick with me after the credits roll always overcome their iniquities while a movie like Fifth Element may be an enjoyable little romp. I just can't get as invested if there isn't just a little bit of oompf to the characters or the world, something that makes me think just a little. And even if you don't particularly want to dive into a doctoral dissertation with your film, I can still love it. But suddenly the premium is on everything in your film really sticking a landing in every scene. And Fifth Element is just too... loud for that. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
