I was just re-reading this review, Ken. In it you said that it had (snort!) "borrowed" stuff from various movies. Well, here's one you missed:
quote:
Each of the humans bear a patterned birthmark, and each represents an Element (gee, that’s a new one): Fire, Air, Water and Metal. We get long narrated descriptions on the properties of each Element. If the four of them can learn to work together as a team, Os explains, they’ll be—three guesses—invincible.
Let's see, the four elements, plus Os, who is "filled with love" (Let's say he 'has a lot of HEART') and when their powers are combined.....

Ah, OK, I do remember reading that now. Looks like the search function doesn't hit the Video Cheese entries!!

I haven't seen the movie, but both are actually taken from the millenia old traditions of alchemy, in which the perfect balance of the four elements is needed for spiritual purity and the attainment of quint-essence or the fifth element (aether). |
