I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I watched a while back, but I can't for the life of me remember it. Which is bad, as I rented it intentionally! There are some things I remember about it that, if anyone else has seen it, should easily identify it:

  • Set in the future
  • It is a french movie
  • An alien ship comes to earth, the head of these aliens takes the form of Osiris
  • There's this special girl with blue hair that plays an important part in the plot (I forget what, exactly)
  • Osiris recruits this dude, I think he's a detective or something, and turns one of his legs to metal
  • There is some nudity including a sex scene with the metal-legged dude and the blue haired chick and then with Osiris and the blue haired chick (or maybe it was Osiris possessing the metal-legged dude)
  • The blue-haired chick was French but for whatever reason was made to say all her lines in English
  • There is some sort of medical-government thingy and the blue haired chick is important to them
  • At the end of the movie the chick has shaved her hair and is seen on the Eiffel Tower observation deck with a baby
  • IIRC the entire movie is filmed with the actors in front of a green screen and everything else is CGI.

That's the best my fuzzy mind can remember at the moment. The cover of the DVD had the blue-haired chick on it, with some blue make-up under her eye with the alien's pyramid-ship on it and the future city. I hope someone recognizes this movie, its driving me nuts!

D'oh! A quick search of Wikipedia and the answer is found. Stupid me. Oh well. Maybe other people will want to see it now!

UBB code won't let me post the link. The movie is Immortel (Ad Vitam).

For a second there I thought you were describing The Fifth Element. Of course that's silly because that film is totally different...coz the chick had red hair. [Wink]

Another "Music Video Without Music Movie" that looks amazing but sucks total ass- zero plot, bad acting and poor interaction with the obviously CGI everything around the actors.

Even worse than Fifth Element.

Multi-pass!

...Which game are we playing?


P.S. Anything with Gary Oldman in it is automatically not crap.

The lack of any plot kills it for me- all the performances are good (well, not Mila J's but she knew zero english back then)- it's just the lame-ass "TEH EVIL IS COMING!!!" idiocy that bugs me.
None of the bad guys have any motivation to their actions, particularly not TEH EVIL that is coming from space to...er....destroy things? Ruin their credit? Borrow money?

Yeah....something.

Yeah, they never explained how it could communicate with Zorg or why it dripped motor oil on his forehead. Blood would've been more logical, but none of the other blood in the movie looked like that.

But it was black blood because it was EVIL!

I think that movie has started to become one of those cult hits that never really did well in the theater, but a lot of people like it. Of course, TNT's constant showing of it may have something to do with that. Personally, I think it's just a fun movie with lots of eye candy.

That's a good point. This movie was basically a precursor to Armageddon: Giant object headed toward Earth and it's up to Bruce Willis to save the day.
