63Rich with atmosphere but too similar to films ranging from "Children of Men" to "Doomsday" to carve out its own distinctive niche.
-
50If nothing else, it's nice to see an action movie that takes Europe, not America, as its grounding point.
-
40Brawny but brainless techno-twaddle.
-
This is not a terrible movie, but it's too familiar by half and too confusing by a third.
-
40A noisier, costlier version of "Children of Men," yet lacking that film's social-political significance and jaw-dropping direction.
-
38The lackluster acting and horrendous dialogue don't help.
-
The storyline is a sinkhole that swallows up any sense and suspense.
-
When martial arts star Michelle Yeoh shows up as a pious, butt-kicking nun, you have to wonder if Kassovitz isn't accidentally cribbing from Mel Brooks, too.
-
33As long it sticks to that chase, Babylon A.D. remains a sub-passable lead-footed action film with neat scenery.
-
30It's not a great action dust-up by any means.
-
25When this Vin Diesel vehicle isn't pointlessly frenzied, it's narratively inert, wasting some decent production design, and a French-flavored cast primed for fun.
-
20The plot makes absolutely no sense.
-
20Wants to be three different films at one time but sadly never asks much from Diesel other than to grunt, stomp around, and reprise the role that made him a star.
-
20Our judgments, in any case, may be superfluous, since the director, Mathieu Kassovitz, has already publicly described it as "pure violence and stupidity."
-
10A towering heap of nihilistic nonsense that plays like a cornball "Children of God."
