Movie: Babylon A.D
Release Date: 2008
Genre: Thriller, Action

Cast: Vin Diesel, Melanie Thiery, Michele Yeoh, Lambert Wilson

Here's another thriller movie I was expecting to take my heart away considering Vin Diesel popularity for been one of the best actors out there but unfortunately, this movie wasn't really the kinda film you would expect from a sci-fi thriller, and also the actors were average and didn't really added much to the already average story of the film..

Synopsis: The movie tells the story about a veteran-turned-mercenary who craves for a clear passport and a huge amount, he takes up a deadly job to smuggle a girl from an Asian convent to New York, and he was Joined by her guardian as they faces many obstacles to complete the job.

The plot is either confusing or unexistant, it really made no sense to me, the only thing brilliant from the movie was the action scene's and the special effects...

Review:
Vin Diesel and Melani Thiery added something that could at least get the attention of the audience and that is their chemistry together, their brief moments of romance were little be on point in my view and it's really nice to see this pair together but unfortunately, the movie was a box office disaster as it didn't earn a lot of money and couldn't recouped its budget.
Special Effects aside, The pacing of this film is also terrible, the characters are unable to form real conections between them, making all the interactions between them dull and uninteresting.

It wasn't as good as i expect for a Sci-Fi thriller movie, its box office failure even speaks of how average the movie is, would only recommend for the ones that loves special effects and Actions.
