Sure, there are echoes of Babylon 5 in there, along with some somewhat generic "power corrupts" themes, however the way that writer, director Luc Besson has brought the imagery together harkens back to the best of early Heavy Metal and Metal Huriant. Unfortunately the reason that it's held back from going anywhere near being greatness, is because for all the[...]

Things like 'Luc Besson was really hitting The Fifth Element' feel again.
