Kevin Spacey's "The 5th Element" (2016)

This movie had a great cast, a unique plot, and a name that sounded like it was ripped from a real science textbook. But in the end, it was just another rehashing of the same old "Independence Day" formula. Read more about the disappointment that was The 5th Element
