In a near future, the mercenary Toorop is hired by the powerful criminal Gorsky to take a woman named Aurora from a Noelite Convent in Central Asia 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, they see on the news that the Noelite Convent has just been bombed. When Aurora discloses that she is a virgin and pregnant with twins, Toorop realizes that there is something sinister behind his mission and that he and Sister Rebeka are not part of Gorsky's plans.
Veteran-turned-mercenary Toorop takes the high-risk job of escorting a woman from Russia to America. Little does he know that she is host to an organism that a cult wants to harvest in order to produce a genetically modified Messiah.
Most bad movies can eke out some dignity by at least looking like ambitious failures. Then there are some movies like "Babylon A.D." that are just too much of a mess and destined to be failures.
This movie did not have much hope from the get go, what with its director Mathieu Kassovitz publicly distancing and disowning the film, saying the studio interfered too much and made too many changes in the final cut.
It would not be foolhardy to expect at least a somewhat entertaining movie if it stars Vin Diesel. Add to that his co-stars the Asian actress Michelle Yeoh, French actor Gerard Depardieu and the veteran British actress Charlotte Rampling, the director actually has some very fine actors to work with. But they are all wasted here and almost nothing seems to be going right for this movie.
The script is weak and not clear in explaining the mystery of the all important young woman. The actors don't have enough of a background story or a decent script or some characterisation to work with. The movie starts off strong but towards the conclusion just peters out into a muddle. The ending is one of the most disappointing of any action movie in recent memory and very clearly seems tacked on.
Diesel is Toorop, a mercenary who is hired by a Russian mobster Gorsky (Depardieu) to smuggle the young woman Aurura (Melanie Thierry) accompanied by her caretaker Sister Rebecca (Yeoh).
The trio is chased by some army guys who seem to be hired by the girl's father. But her mother also wants her and has some people hunting for her too. The movie never clearly explains what makes the girl so special and a bit after the halfway point you don't really care.
The role of Gorsky is one of the most wasted and humiliating for an actor of Depardieu's stature. Rampling, who has starred in some classic movies like "The Verdict", plays nothing more than just a caricature here. Yeoh, with her radiance, has the power to light up any drab role given, but here the weight of the inanity seems almost too bleak for even her to shine through.
The director, although having made his displeasure with the studios clear, doesn't seem to give us anything to cheer for him in the parts where he might have been given control. This movie suffers from much more than studio interference. It does at places try to take on some grander themes like global warming or the downside of globalisation in the future. But it doesn't dig deeper and uses them only as background detail.
The action sequences indicate quite a bit of money spent but they are too few and coupled with the lack of empathy we feel for the characters, they sadly fall short. The movie has supposedly been shortened considerably by the studio. So for those looking for a light, brisk action movie which doesn't make too many demands on the brain, "Babylon A.D" just might be satisfactory.
I went into this movie not expecting much - other than Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick, I've been disappointed by Diesel in everything. With Pitch Black, I had high hopes for this guy, but he plays one character across all these films. He never broadens his palette. Babylon A.D.'s trailer made me hopeful for him; what was on the screen disappointed.
What we get is a good concept at the start, a display of lots of great ideas from past science fiction - but they build a house of cards and the ending is the hurricane that just blows it all down.
***What I liked***: The base idea. Many have claimed "rip-off of Children of Man"; at the same time the slant of the New Messiah storyline is less hopeful, more Mankind-egocentric. This girl, a new Virgin Mary figure, is a manufactured tool of an evil faction from the start. Her pregnancy is not a random miracle as in Children of Man (think "luck/God/nature/etc gives humanity a 2nd chance" in that one); Aurora is bio-engineered from before birth to be this Virgin, her pregnancy is engineered by men, for an ultimately selfish reason - to gain total power over humanity through a manufactured Miracle. They didn't take advantage of a random miracle for their ends; they engineered the miracle. In the end, this malevolent action brings unexpected consequences for those that perpetrated it (Aurora's "father" has second thoughts about the use of the girl and becomes an obstacle; there is something special about the twins that was not engineered). The man-made miracle is going to blow up in their faces.
I enjoyed the setting, or at least the idea of the setting as displayed. The year in which the story takes place isn't stated, but the "mid-future" is hinted at through some dates given. The portrayal of how humanity lives in this time is compelling, but extremely confusing. The background of many of the things I saw were not hinted at or told adequately; instead they just make me go "what's the story there?". This confusion really takes away from any chance of cohesion. If there were more bits and pieces of future history leading to what we see in the world and the places Thoorop goes, the movie would have made more sense. "Wow, eastern Europe or Russia or wherever Thoorop has secluded himself really looks like a craphole - he's about to dig on some cat for dinner - what? He has all kinds of technology in this crumbling apartment?" - this hints at some of the poetry that could have been related through the story, but ends up just making a jumble. You just catch the criticism of humanity for putting value of technology over basics, but it never gets fully implemented later. We see over-exposure of media and commerce even in squalor - the pit-fighting club, the expensive displays in full view of the shanty town, New York City more commercialized (think Tokyo, or the city in Blade Runner). Cybernetics/futuristic cosmetic surgery for those with means, cloned exotic pets - all these ideas from many science fiction universes; none of them is ever fully developed, just mentioned. Thematic buzz-wording.
Some of the subtle humor is well done; when Thoorop hunches over his dinner to protect it from door-debris near the beginning comes to mind.
***What I didn't Like***: Everything I mentioned above that I liked could probably also fit down here. The entirety of the movie's concept, themes, ideas, execution had a very half-baked/hurried feel.
The acting was pretty difficult at parts, but not awful on the whole. Many of the scenes just didn't work - it seemed like there was to be "tension" building between Thoorop/Aurora, but it was very artificial. Most of the theater laughed out loud at the gettaway scene where Thoorop and Aurora have a "moment" (he looks at her from the floor of the van, she sort of tries to kiss his forehead). Their bathroom scene was exceedingly forced. I felt bad for Michelle Yeoh; she tried very hard and was very good at what she was asked to do. The tense scene in the apartment with Rebeka and Thoorop was one of the better ones for them both ("What..is..WRONG with her??").
The ending - abominable. If we go back to the Children of Man comparison, that movie had it relatively easy. The entire premise was that mankind was doomed as no one was able to procreate. The simple act of giving birth is all that is needed to show the importance of the act in that context. Babylon A.D. doesn't have this out; people are still having kids, that's not the premise of the story or why the birth is important. You have all these neat ideas and concepts building up to some great climax - it is neat that the twins' birth was engineered for a selfish purpose by evil people, but the important part is that there is something about them that was not predicted by their creators - they can protect their mother from missiles, they can help her read minds! And...that's it. They're born; Aurora, new Virgin Mary dies, power-crazed villain lady vanishes, twins go to be raised by protector Thoorop. The end. No information about what these twins will mean for the world, why they will be important to humanity outside their original purpose, why Thoorop must continue to protect them. That they have these powers and intelligence isn't really enough on its own. It's like the story is a balloon being blown up slowly throughout the movie, only to be let go of by the blower right at the end to go ppbbbbbbbbbbblllllllttttttt all around the room. The groans and "what???"s throughout the theater were audible over the music!
If they could add bits of explanation of the universe, fix Thoorop/Aurora tension, make a different, informative ending - this would probably turn out to be decent.
Rich with atmosphere but too similar to films ranging from "Children of Men" to "Doomsday" to carve out its own distinctive niche.
Babylon A.D. is based on Babylon Babies (1999), a novel by French science fiction writer Maurice Georges Dantec. Anno Domini, which is Latin for "year of our lord", referring to the years since Jesus Christ was traditionally born. As a frame of reference, the year 2014 can be written as A.D. 2014. Anno Domini corresponds to Common Era (C.E.), a term that does not use the religious reference explicit in "Anno Domini." Undetermined, but after having seen the tigers, Aurora mentions that they were extinct in 2017. The tigers they saw were the second generation of clones. Judging by the sci-fi technology we see throughout the film, and the fact that Toorop (Vin Diesel) was born sometime before the attacks of 11 September 2001 as we know in his flashback sequence, New York City's population growth, and how Aurora also mentions the Soviet submarine—that it is over 30 years old. The film probably takes place in the late 2020s or the 2030s. No. As noted above, Babylon A.D. is based on the novel Babylon Babies. Other than the word "Babylon" and the fact that both stories are futuristic, there is no connection. WorstPreviews.com has posted an article in which they provide quotes supposedly made by director Mathieu Kassovitz in an interview with AMCTV in which Kassovitz admits anger with the final results of this film, particularly the fact that it got edited down to 93 minutes in order to get a PG-13 rating. Babylon A.D. has a rather wild history in the States. The movie got cut prior to its US theatrical release in order to get a PG-13 rating. This lead to a dispute between Kassovitz and Fox, because the director was not amused. His original cut got released in several European countries, whereas Americans had to wait for the home cinema release of the movie, to see the longer version of this movie, which is called Raw and Uncensored, Extended Harder Cut in the US. The total difference between both versions is about 10 minutes but there are several changes to the plot and in the end, hence two different movies. a5c7b9f00b
