I went to see Babylon A.D. at the weekend. On the whole the film wasn’t too bad.
Vin Diesel is exactly what you would expect if you’ve seen any of his other films. Michelle Yeoh is in it, which means it’s worth going to see if only so see her.
The fight sequences lack clarity. It’s pretty hard to see what’s going on a lot of the time. This is a shame because both of these actors are more than capable of doing good fight scenes. Saying that, the pace of the film was OK and nothing stood out as exceptionally good or bad… Until the end…
The last 2 minutes was the biggest waste of time. Quite possible the most pointless ending I’ve ever seen in a film. It’s like they sent the writers home early on the day they were writing the final scene.
You’ve got to start and end a film with some impact, and this film definitely ended on a lame note. If you can look past the last scene and you like dumb-ass action films, then I think you’ll enjoy it. If not, steer clear… 🙂
Cheers
