Babylon A.D

[marshallfever]

Finished watching the movie. It was actually enjoyable. The ideal story was pretty good, it would have been better with a bit more explanation and more scenes.

The concept behind it was probably more than the movie could pull off, most people will no doubt look at it as a decent action flick. However it could have been more.....or more possibly, it could BE more if decide to make a sequel.

Too bad no one's talked about it or hyped it up. For some strange reason, no one seems to like Vin Diesel as a good actor. However when he appears in Fast and Furious, the crowd goes wild. Strange indeed

Side Joke

I guess this is the prequel to the Pacifier

Well, it's hard to like him for something that he's never become.

I'm not a "*****" of Diesel like a lot of the people that don't like him are, I actually didn't mind Fast and the Furious, Chronicles of Riddick, or Pitch Black...but he isn't a good actor.

Re: Babylon A.D

Wasn't bad. I heard that the director was pissed because his original cut was far longer and it was watered down drastically

Re: Babylon A.D

I watched it a few weeks ago on Blu-ray from Netflix. I seriously have no clue what the movie was about or the plot. It was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever wasted my time with.

If I was the director, I'd be pissed my name was even on it, not that stuff was cut out.

I guess one good thing came out of it, Diesel turned down Hitman because of this film, I liked Hitman, with Vinny in it, it would have turned out to be a joke.

Did you watch the ending? I didn't know what was going on, until they explained it at the end, then it all made sense. I had low expectations for the movie, but I actually enjoyed it. Not the best movie, but better than the terrible reviews it got.

Yes.

Aurora dies, the twins are born (don't see them though) and Vin talks about it. Again, stupid and pointless for a 90 min movie.

Actually they did show the twins at the end of the movie, they called Vin, "Dad" i think. I wanted a little more from the ending though. Exactly, what are these twins and why do they have powers...

The lady who pursed them, why did she suddenly stop? or did she really stop? It left so many questions unanswered, not in a good way though.

Actually, i thought the complete opposite.

Re: Babylon A.D

I also felt it was left wide open at the end, but when this happens it is always because a sequel is coming. I don't know about you guys, but it makes me want to watch the sequel just to see what happens.

Re: Babylon A.D

Saw a few days ago - not the worst movie I have seen, but it was pretty bad. Vin is really not the greatan actor IMO. He seems to be playing the same person in all of his movies. I think the best film he has done was Saving Private Ryan.
