Babylon A.D.
While the trailers for Babylon A.D. make the film look like one heck of a sci-fi thriller, it turns out that Fox might be tricking us with the previews.
Babylon A.D. Reviewed
We have been alerted to the first official review for Babylon A.D. and, unfortunately, this film runs on too much Diesel.
Looking less like he's trying to save the planet than like he's fighting off a really bad hangover, Vin Diesel punches, shoots but ultimately dozes his way through the sloppy sci-fi actioner "Babylon A.D." A noisier, costlier version of "Children of Men," yet lacking that film's social-political significance and jaw-dropping direction, scribe-helmer Mathieu Kassovitz's heftiest production to date may also be his least successful effort to breach Hollywood's walls as a high-budget filmmaker. Released in France before it opens Aug. 29 Stateside in a version trimmed by about 10 minutes, "Babylon" will require plenty of prayers to reach B.O. paradise.
So you're saying it's not amazing? Well, at least I didn't get my hopes up on this one; already learned my lesson with Hitman. Check out the entire review on Babylon A.D.here.
