In The Fifth Element, there’s a brief and easily overlooked scene in the middle of the movie where a spaceship takes off toward Fhloston Paradise. It only lasts a couple of seconds, but if you pause and take a closer look, you’ll notice an interesting detail from the director.

2 - This marks the future ocean level. Somehow the ice caps didn’t melt to add more water to the seas. Did humanity ship the water off to other planets?

3 - Manhattan, 4 - Brooklyn, 5 - The Brooklyn Bridge connecting them. With the water gone, the bridge is now spanning a canyon instead of a river.

You might not notice it right away. I zoomed in and rotated a section of the photo so it’s clearer:
