Though it was just as good as other futuristic movies such as V for Vendetta or the like, it seemed to leave it undone. At least with, V for Vendetta, V dies, and there is closure to it, this did not... Full review

This movie had the potential to be great for every guy's movie collection. Big explosions, fighting, and guns everywhere. Then it tried to have a point. This point destroyed the movie and made the last 30 minutes not even worth watching.... Full review

I thought this movie was very interesting. Vin Diesel was a badass during this movie. I did not find this THAT confusing but it made sense to me. Maybe all the bad reviews failed to really pay attention to the movie.... Full review

Fans of mindless action flicks!....I was hoping for brainless, silly action and Vin Diesel is usually pretty good about that.....Right now my demographic consists of slaves to action flicks and zombies.....Heck, I enjoyed Diesel in Babylon A.D. and that movie was a vastly confused wreck of converging, convoluted plotlines.....Walker's main character flaw is his utter lack of Vin Dieselosity or, more simply, his un-Vinness..... ...

Mathieu Kassovitz is making a determined challenge for the stylish French sci-fi thriller crown of Luc Besson with this highly effective, highly charged action movie....This is a top cast, with Vin Diesel excelling as the outlaw mercenary whose survival code is simply 'kill or be killed'.....But the pluses easily outweigh the minuses, and even truncated, the story is strong and interesting enough to keep us engaged.....Stupendous action scenes in a post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe (filmed in pre-apocalyptic ...

If you can get past the pretensions of the guy (sunglasses during an interview, oddly greasy "I am cool" hair) he actually gives some interesting background about the story.....The interview however actually left me feeling like his story must have started at the exact moment the film most oddly ends..... ...

The film adaptation, "Babylon A.D.," was famously trampled by its own director who claimed that Fox tampered with the production all throughout shooting, never letting him shoot a scene the way he wanted.
Babylon A.D." is sure to whet the appetite of some sci-fi/action fanatics, but the film is simply too dumb and too unoriginal for it's own good.

Babylon A.D. looks great on Blu-ray
While parts of the movie might be confusing
The movie holds your interest from start to finish, but gets bogged down by its own story and the limited performances of its cast.
Diesel is stiff in the movie
