Babylon A.D. (2008, USA/France/UK)

For the first hour or so, I was surprised that I didn't think that Babylon A.D. was as bad as everyone had said it was. Not very exciting, sure, but the production design is gorgeous, and it’s really not too terrible, at least not until the last five minutes or so. Then it turns into the dumbest, most pointless film I’ve seen in quite some time. I don’t blame Mathieu Kassovitz for disowning it, and if I were him, I’d get out of Hollywood ASAP - Gothika wasn’t much less of a fiasco, though at least for that project he didn’t have to be responsible for bringing Vin Diesel back into the public eye.
