kquinn-41024 With so much crap out there I find myself watching this move again and again.

M MALIK this film Babylon Ad:2008 is based on a novel & directed by a french director Matthew Kassovitz.hold on guys let me say this even i though the whole cast got wasted here but ever wonder why because of the terrible editing by the studio the director of this film was angry over this he has every right to be paramount does this a lot but fox should not let their fans down i like their movies it is one of the biggest studio in Hollywood one of my favorite if anyone at fox is reading this please take note.i agree with critics & people who say this film could have been better if the run-time was longer as a lot of action scenes are chopped of specially the car chase scene during the climax where Vin Diesel is blowing things up it looked cool i saw the film it was missing i checked out the censorship report with comparisons of different versions on DVD i say forget those guys it is not worth the money fox needs to release the full uncut version the film would make much more sense.the director blamed fox studio saying they never allowed him to shoot the film as he wanted sad day in history of filmmaking i say i don't know this always happens to foreign directors same thing happened with John Woo almost his every film got edited by Hollywood this is disrespectful.not only during the production but even after the post production studio was interfering now this is being called a french film i am sorry it is a typical Hollywood disaster so please stop saying it is a french film french films are masterpieces because their studios make wise decisions unlike ones in North America. the cast:Vin Diesel looked out of shape but in the shower scene he looks sexy with hairy chest so i sat through this only for him this is definitely one of his weakest performance ever,Michelle Yeoh & Charlotte Rampling got wasted but Melanie Thierry is a nice eye candy but she can do some serious acting if given the right material.the plot:set in the future this is the story of a smuggler who is banned from entering USA he gets a job to deliver a girl inside USA but things don't go easy as always the bad guys are coming after him.the theme was nice it was a interesting concept and had the usual science fiction mixed with mythical & religious nonsense etc.it looked like a road trip movie i tried to enjoy this only because of Vin Diesel even he could not save this mess of a project what is here to talk about direction honestly it was nicely done but hey it don't even matter as a action junkie i would say this movie is crap but on the other hand as a person who likes films with great plots and narratives i would say this film would have nailed it i mean it it could have been the best film of the last decade but sadly the fox studio is responsible for this mess there is too much editing done it looks like the editors wanted to make a mash-up dance video this is why the characters are loose cannons & film don't make much sense no matter what.Overall Babylon A.D:2008 is only for hardcore Vin Diesel fans only i have to say i am one so i watched this only for him my rating is 3/10.

joaquin valle This is an awful movie. It is messed up. The plot is unclear and such good actors are wasted. The visual effects are good actually and the idea would be a lot better in a book or comic than in a movie. As seawalker writes "The presentation of the near future world in "Babylon A.D." is beautifully done. Compare and contrast the difference between the collapsing, grunge-like, shabby Eastern Bloc, with the hi-tech, neon lit New York. Very well put together." This movie has some aspects that does not really fit to the society. Vin Diesel is an excellent actor; although he is the main character and his work is outstanding, it does not help the movie. Compared to some science fiction movies like: Inception, Star Wars or Minority Report. This movie does not stand a chance against these really good movies from the last 20 years. I am also agreeing seawalker in the movie being a mess because throughout editing some important plot parts have been edited and even left out. This is kind of unfair because the movie is only 90 minutes long, and a lot of science fiction movies reach the 120, 150 minutes. Another aspect is explaining some thongs more. Some parts of the movie, as i said before, are unclear and you have not idea of what is happening. This makes the movie kind of repetitive and tedious. I want to thank seawalker for his important review and ask the people to read his review for more important information.

t-mckoy I can honestly say this is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Ever. I think one of the first scenes pretty much sums up the whole move- Vin Deisel is sitting in an old car, and to get from point a to point b is lifted up by a magnet hanging from a helicopter, and transported that way, in an old rusty car swinging from a chain suspended from the helicopter. Why doesn't he just GET INTO THE HELICOPTER? I remember thinking. From there it goes steadily downhill. I feel as tho the director was aspiring to be somewhat like M. Night SHayamalamananamanan, as the twists came fast and hard. there were so many in fact that the viewer is left completely unattatched to anything in the story, and completely utterly confused. The black twin at the end pretty much summed it up. How the heck can one twin be black and one be white. And then VInnies final "come inside, kids, there's a storm coming." laughed out loud.
