Just got back from watching Babylon AD, the latest Vin Diesel film. Didn't know much about the plot or production beforehand, but the from the trailer it seemed to be the usual apocalyptic, psychic powers, quasi-religious type film. But it wasn't really. The trailer was quite misleading looking back on it. It gives the impression that the films plot is on a global scale, when it isn't, besides the characters making a journey from Asia to America. The basic plot is that a mercenary, Vin Diesel as "Toorop", is hired to take a girl, "Aurora", from a convent in Mongolia (I think, can't remember) to New York. And along the way there's some action scenes, a dash of sexual tension, and little bit of plot. Then they get to New York, and there's some action, and a whole lot of plot. There are religious elements to the film, but not the type you;d expect from the trailer. It's more the organisation side of religion, stepping in to make sure things go to plan, etc etc. As a whole it doesn't work well, and it's tossed away at the end with no explanation.

The action is fairly standard, as is everything else. There's nothing particularly special or memorable about the film. My basic problem with this film is that not a lot of it makes sense. No while the film is progressing, this doesn't really matter, as building up some mystery is exactly what films like this do. The trouble with this film is that almost none of that mystery is resolved within the film, although the film seems to think everything is wrapped up nicely.

So, as you can tell, I didn't like the film much. I'd give it 3/10, because it wasn't hard to watch. Not a good film, but also not a film that I hated watching (at least not until it was over).

Now then, on to the specifics of the plot and why I didn't like it. All the plow twists revealed within

Of course it was at the cinema. I didn't expect much from the film anyway but I expected more than that.

Pitch Black was good.

And from the trailer it looked at least passable. Like I said, the trailers make it look like some apocalypse type scenario, with some psychic girl as human weapon but she doesn't know it or something. That's what I would have guessed the plot was from the trailer. But it wasn't that.

This film popped into my head randomly today. I couldn't remember what it was about or what it was called.

Was this connected to that sci fi series of the same name. If it was that might explain the lack of a coherent plot.

Fast and Furios was ok
I like some Van Damme movies, is this just as bad or worse?
