Fifth element was pretty good even if a bit quirky in my opinion, so I went with that

Quirky? yes. But I still thought it was masterfully done from a storytelling point of view. Notice the main protagonist and main antagonist never even meet? Movie still worked!

The Surrogates won me over with that scene where the hot female surrogate was actually being controlled by some fat guy.

DAMNIT he could have got that cab back to the station if that !@% *&^$ didnt crash in to his cab ! The  tech of  Surrogates did make me wonder for a few min how the hell they made him look so young but the wonder didnt last much. Old school vote here the new tech has not fooled all the old fools yet.

Fifth Element, no question. Surrogates just played out well, not as good of a story. Nor did it have Milla Jovovich in "thermal bandages".  ;)

Kinda a sappy story/ending but I gotta go with Fifth Element for the cool alien spacesuits and Milla. I don't think I've watched surrogates all the way through yet though, perhaps I'll give it another chance.

I don't.  I've never seen Surrogates and I never made it through all of the 5th Element.

And I was thinking Bruce Campbell when I saw the title of the poll.
