pretty decent action movie, the plot was eh.......mediocre, vin diesel was pretty awesome (as usual) but it had potential to be a really good movie

Ok, this movie was pretty awful. Throughout the movie, many things aren't explained and you really have to make your own assumptions on what's going on, which isn't very easy.

Throughout the movie, many things aren't explained and you really have to make your own assumptions on what's going on, which isn't very easy. The action sequences were decent, and some of the futuristic settings had an appeal. But in the end, it's all the confusion that brings this movie down. But at the same time, this movie really looks like it was going somewhere, and I feel bad because the mess that this film became in the end, as claimed by the director, was all because the studio "butchered it" without letting the director have control over the editing. So maybe Babylon A.D. had it's chance at being a decent film, but because of being butchered up, we'll never know. So really, the way the movie is right now, is bad, but I'm giving it small credit because it had some potential to be something better.

Confusing. Dumb. One BIG question mark stamped right on your head at the very end. But i give them slight credit for trying.

this movie was ok. not boring. kinda interesting what was the plot of the movie.

At the risk of sullying my film snob cred, I root for Vin Diesel, he's limited but likable. Like its star, Babylon A.D. begins with a lot of promise and potential.

Like its star, Babylon A.D. begins with a lot of promise and potential. There is a mystery and a world surrounding the film's plot that begs to be explored and expanded. It's clear that reckoning is coming that will shake the film's entire base situation. Yet that moment never comes. The set pieces feel boring, underdone, and routine. Several scenes have the feeling of "now it's time for the snowmobile chase," "this is the emotional death," "here's the inevitable romance" as though the filmmaker was rushing through the film's bucket list days before deadline. It moves like a lobotomized Children of Men that spent its entire effects budget on just enough material to fit into a trailer without considering the demands of its story, or even an ending. In the hands of a more competent director (or at least one who could make a decent rip of Ridley Scott or Steven Spielberg) perhaps the film would have lived up to its promise. In my opinion, the only thing worse that a woefully bad movie, is a woefully bad movie with a lot of potential. My hope is that Diesel can change his path before suffering a similar fade.

The only explicable thing about Babylon A.D. is that it was not screened in advance for critics.

Seems simply like the aftermath of an artistic apocalypse.
