'Babylon A.D.' review

LostLimit from el monte - September 19, 2008 at 10:24 PM

Beginning and middle was okay, but ending sucks a lot. Sorta left you hanging. So many stuffs left out like wth happen to the old white lady who nuked that russian guy? Did she just gave up her evil plot and shoot herself or wth? And it got interesting when you find out that the girl had some sort of spiritual powers or abnormalities and then bam she died after giving birth... I loved all of Vin's movies, but this is probably one of his worst ever, in my opinion.

Spoiler alert..... WTF I just came back from this movie and it was the most anti-climatic movie I've seen since AI. I liked the movie in till they drive away from killing the guys on the country road but after that. Dude like why did the evil old chick stop trying to chase them after they killed her cronies oh she can nuke someone in Russia but she can't keep chasing a teenager and one dude. OK, all of a sudden then it's 9 months latter she's ready to pop and she's gonna die? This is the same chick that had a bomb blow up in her face and not get hurt or injured in anyway?! This movie gives you the feeling that something important is going to happen but no they never explain anything instead Vin's character is back at his happy rebuild cabin with flowers, his mixed race twins and the only blue sky shown in the whole movie then he says "come on kids there's a storm coming" the end?

I'll admit, it was a pretty decent movie. But I don't think I wanna own it. I think it could have been alot better. I'm not a director or writer, but I still think I could do so much better than these guys did. Vin could have done better. I've seen him do better. I'm just a bit disapointed in this movie. I spent good money to go see it, and it wasn't at all what I expected. But yeah, I'll give them some credit, that it's something you could see at least once. Not good enough to watch again, and it's not worth the high price most movie theaters charge to see it too. No offense intended, but it's really not.

a beginning , a middle and an end. Where was the end? did I miss somthing?

I rather liked the movie. I mean you have to realize Vin is taking the torch from Arnold since Arnold is the Govenator now and is too old to keep doing the same type movies. With that said, you watch Arnold movies for the action, definately not the script... so why would you expect too much more from a Vin script? Just my 2 cents worth. The only negative comments I have are they shouldn't have panned around so much during the action scenes making it hard to see what was going on and maybe used more appropriate timing when revealing certain things important to the flow of the movie (many times they tossed out info after the fact).

I could not actually put the plot together where it could make any sense. Loved all the action from Mr. Diesel. I was first thinking it was something spiritual going on with the girl but later it was something to do with a computer!!!! ; give me a big break. I also loved seeing Mr. Diesel back on screen very very handsome. Please do more films Mr. Diesel , you can be our next leading actor for Mission Impossible, possible land a spot in the new plot movie their about make with the SuperFriends,Avengers, Spiderman, Hulk Iron man.

The movie lacks plot. Almost near the end of the movie it let's you know the girl is special because she was genetically altered somehow to be a computer (yes I said it). Then you find out she is pregnant and she never had sex. What the mother mary hell is going on. Now we are supposed to believe the children she gives birth to are some sort of silicon valley female jesus. All I can say is how much acid did the film makers take before they attended church for the first time and decided to make this movie. They took the original concept and gave it a vodka enema then blam somewhere in a tavern style manger this movie was born.

Worst movie since Battlefield Earth

Only people that want everything spell out can not see why people really are knocking this film. Changing god is not something the worlds going to support. But this vision is closer to truth in labs not to be disclosed.

Babylon A.D should have never made it to the BIG SCREEN. It should have gone either straight to DVD or stright to file 13.

satchmo pacifico from california - August 30, 2008 at 1:27 PM

Even Vin Diesel fans will be disappointed. This movie clocks in at 80 minutes. Even the editor couldn't find enough watchable footage to give you another 10 or 15. Ouch!

dogstuff from arizona - August 29, 2008 at 5:32 PM

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I think someone should have watched it before they put it out and realized that it was a piece of senseless crap. I want a refund.

philmgeye from Buena Park - August 29, 2008 at 2:21 PM

Vin Diesel's quote from the movie is a direct ripoff of Tony Montana saying the same thing in Scarface. Ugh.

Jera from Beaconsfield - August 29, 2008 at 9:12 AM

Actually, as I was on the film, the comments about Fox are completely out of line. They were more than supportive of the production but the director knew it all, he got everything and everyone 'he' wanted. He trashed the script but "he" wrote it & re-wrote it on an hourly basis. I wonder just why the studios (plural) gave him just so much money & rope to play with? Shame he didn't actually hang himself......we could have made a better film without him.
