Babylon A.D.

The Sci-Fi adventure epic is that venue in which the improbable and the inexplicable stay, thrashing in their own matrix of danger. Here, DIESEL is up to speed and a little beyond, at last, with this one. That spooky-scary kinetic rush of physical power and rage-aholism that animated XXX, PITCH BLACK and RIDDICK is back again, after a spate of gaffs and dung nuggets, and we can see the man as the MovieStar he is, for what he is, in his element. What is that element? It's that unpredictable area of semi-consciousness, part dream and part myth, where primal forces collide under the direction of men like David Twohy -- who orchestrated RIDDIK -- and Luc Besson, who directed, wrote and produced THE FIFTH ELEMENT. And in many ways BABYLON AD closely resembles that movie, FIFTH ELEMENT. Actually, the character Toorop of BABYLON AD is interchangeable with Korben Dallas of ELEMENT, played by Bruce Willis. In their careers, both actors play archetypes and for the past five or more years,... Read more

a good action sci-fi film for adults only because of the profanity. this is not for children.

Finally saw this movie on one of my movie channels. I was impartial about even renting it from what I had been reading. This movie isn't as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. Granted yes you DO have to sit through the whole thing or you may miss something and not understand what is going on. But it is very good. GO OUT AND RENT IT IF YOUR NOT SURE OR WAIT FOR IT TO BE ON TV!!!!

Being a huge Vin Diesel fan I could not wait to get this movie home and watch it. I was sure to love it I mean Vin Diesel is in if after all. Boy what was I thinking. The plot had holes a mile wide in it. You never really understand what the movie is truly about and just when I was wrapping my head around it the story line would change just a bit leaving me even more confused. The movie is based on the Book called Babylon Babies by Maurice Dantec. Published in 1999. After seeing the movie I have no desire to read the book I am sorry to say. There are 3 Main Characters in this Movie Toorop, Aurora, and Sister Rebeka. There are also several other interactions through out the movie but they always include the 3 main characters. The movie is set in a post apocalyptic world and it follows the 3 characters on there trek to North America. Toorop (Played by Vin Diesel) Is a for hire mercenary/terrorist. He has been hired to do a job, transport a young woman to New York city. Provided a pass... Read more

Have you ever watched a film and thought, "This film has so much potential! This concept is awesome!" only to come to the depressing conclusion that the potential will never be fully realized and the concept has taken a backseat to brainless, yet dazzling, action sequences? If so, you may want to beware of the cinematic belly flop that is Babylon A.D. Maurice G. Dantec's third full-length novel Babylon Babies deserved better than this plotless steamer, it's cyberpunk on par with Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and, as a film, it held amazing promise. Director Kassovitz and Fox Studios had the opportunity to create a science fiction film that wasn't just action-adventure dressed up in slick outfits and fancy gadgets. Instead Fox squandered the incredible concept on action sequence after action sequence strung together by the barest of threads, leaving almost 15 minutes of the film lying on the cutting room floor. Would 15 minutes have made a difference? Could i... Read more
