(2.5 out of 5 stars)

Vin Diesel, that tough guy who first became popular for the sci-fi movie Pitch Black, continues to follow those badass roots and plays a ‘deliverer;’ a guy who brings the requested package to its destination, but in this case, it is a young female who has special abilities. Is she possibly the savior of the world?

The general plot seems to follow that of Children of Men and ends quite the same with the audience not quite sure if this miracle of a woman will become the ultimate savior of the world. We just don’t know. Where Children was more of a serious futuristic film, Babylon A.D. is the action version, which actually makes the whole plot a bit outrageous, as well as confusing.

A movie like this should be more fun and entertaining, i.e. The Fifth Element, but it chooses to act serious in a way that it cannot obtain especially with an actor like Diesel filling the role of the protector. Did I mention Michelle Yeoh? Yea, she’s in it too as the pseudo mother of this special woman, but she really fills nothing, but a void which the movie generally has throughout anyway.
