GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

FlashCallahan In a near future, mercenary Toorop is hired to take a woman named Aurora from aConvent in to New York. In return, he will receive a large amount of money and a clear passport. Toorop joins Aurora and her guardian Sister Rebeka as they cross the dangerous Russian landscape chased by mercenaries that also want Aurora. On their journey, Toorop discovers that Aurora has special abilities and once in New York, Aurora discloses that she is a virgin and pregnant with twin., Toorop realise that there is something sinister behind his mission and that he and Sister Rebeka are not part of Gorsky's plans.Another huge failure from Diesel and Co, this was more of the studios fault rather than the star and director, and it's clear that this was chopped up to the point that it's almost difficult to comprehend what is going on other that we move from set piece to set piece with little happening I between.If you liked Diesel in A Man Apart and other below average offerings from him (more or less everything he's done post Pitch Black), you will discover that he plays the same character in every film, looking moody and fed up.Mark Strong and Cyrano De Bergerac show up for no good reason, and the whole thing finishes abruptly without much explanation of anything.It's Children of Men for people with a non-existent attention span, and while not as bad as it made out to be, it's pretty darn close.

tieman64 "Babylon AD" was all but disowned by its director, Mathieu Kassovitz, as the film underwent heavy production difficulties, 20th Century Fox mercilessly interfering with and opposing the French director's wishes.Still, this is a pretty good "scifi" (it's not science fiction) movie once you approach it from a certain angle. The film's plot, derivative of fare like "Escape from LA", "Escape from New York", "Serenity", "Children of Men" and the "Mad Max trilogy", sees actor Vin Diesel playing a mercenary tasked with transporting a young girl across a war torn, future Earth. It's familiar stuff, but the film's art design, score, sets and landscapes do well to conjure up the work of Enki Bilal, Michel Houellebecq, Jean Giraud and European cyber punk. Most of the film's action scenes are terribly corny, inserted by 20th Century Fox as a means of suckering in audiences, but look past this and the film has a nice vibe. Kassovitz and Diesel were going for a low key, grim, silent, archetypal quest, but the studios wanted talk and conventional action. The film works if, and only if, you're aware of these conflicts and self-censor what you're watching. Like cyber-punk comics, it depends on you doing all the work. On you using the incomplete images as a spring-board to imagine a world that could be.Kassovitz made one "serious" film with "Hate", but has since turned into a shameless stylist. "The Crimson Rivers", an early film of his, is arguably his best; a shamelessly lurid potboiler. Fans of "Babylon AD" advocate watching its "uncut edition". What you really want is the first half hour of the "uncut edition" (primarily for its extended opening) and the rest of the theatrical cut (for the architecturally interesting airport sets, deleted in the "uncut edition"). Neither cut is complete, and Kassovitz had little input in the so called "uncut" or "director's cut".7.9/10 – Poor Vin Diesel. He tries hard to make smart sci-fi actioners, but just can't quite manage. Worth one viewing.

davidfurlotte In all fairness this review is based on the theatrical release and not the Director's cut which according to rumours actually has a plot that can be followed.This movie seems to have had a number of producers who sat around a table and said, "Look, "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" did good at the box office, "The Fifth Element" did good at the box office and "The Golden Child" did good at the box office, SO, if we combine all three of these movies we should do GREAT at the box office!" UHHH...in theory that would work but they forgot one teeny, tiny detail. All three of those movies had a PLOT that people could follow without having to keep some kind of notepad around to try and figure out what had HAPPENED in order to get these people where they were and try and figure out WHAT they trying to do.*****Here there be spoilers***** Problem number one: Nobody is trying to kill our heroine (the package) so why does she need all this heavy hitting power to PROTECT her to get her to New York? Problem number two: The person who wants her IN New York represents a group that ALREADY has her as part of them. Surely with the technology available they can STILL present her as a virgin mother to the world from WHERE she is living? Problem number three: Her "father" is trying to capture her and bring her to him. WHY did he not send his specially trained group to the convent to get her? She's inside a CONVENT, not some fortress with guards and weaponry.The movie really needs a lot of filling in the blanks in order to truly be worthy of the budget that was spent. Instead of spending the tens of millions of dollars on the hi-tech special EFX it should have spent some tens of thousands of dollars on putting together a SCRIPT and a STORYBOARD that made sense to the average viewer.I enjoy Vin Diesel as an actor and I even enjoyed him in this movie, but what COULD have been a good movie is really nothing more than a big budget FLOP. All in all save yourself the brain freeze of trying to figure it out.

Tweekums I thought this Vin Diesel vehicle would probably be a bit rubbish; while it is no Citizen Kane it is fairly entertaining with Vin Diesel doing what he does best; going into a dangerous situation and surviving against the odds. Here he plays Toorop; a mercenary who has been hired to transport a girl called Aurora and her chaperone from Russia to New York. It won't be easy as he must get out of a chaotic Russia and get into the United States despite being on a terrorist watch list. To make matters worse both her father and a cult who believe that she is the Messiah that will give them recognition as a major religion want the girl. Their journey is action packed; involving fights, shootouts and a race across the ice on snowmobiles while being chased by deadly drone aircraft.This was a decent way to pass an hour and a half; Vin Diesel did a good enough job as our hero Toorop, Michelle Yeoh was good if somewhat underused as Sister Rebeka, Aurora's chaperone and Mélanie Thierry did a reasonable job as the enigmatic Aurora. The action was well handled; I especially liked the chase across the ice. The story itself wasn't that dazzling but wasn't bad. While this is a science fiction film don't expect vast amounts of cool futuristic gadgets; it is set in the not too distant future so most of the technology is present day, there are just a few things that don't exist. I wouldn't recommend buying this unless it is in the bargain bin or you are a big Vin Diesel fan but if it is on television it is worth checking out.
