BABYLON A.D. trailer sucks!
Posted by Matt Holmes
Pretty damn awful.
Babylon A.D is an upcoming dystopian thriller from Gothika & La Haine director Mathieu Kassovitz starring Vin Diesel as a muscle clad mercenary Thoorop.
He’s our good guy who escorts a woman (Melanie Thierry) from Russia to China but it’s not going to be as easy as it sounds because said woman is an organism that a cult wants to harvest and produce a genetically modified Messiah.
New trailer below which give us an awful lot more than the teaser released last month.
Well we have the over-used Requiem music which is used in soooo many action thrillers year in and year out, we have some awful line reading from Vin Diesel - one in the middle of the trailer and possibly the worst “cliff-hanger” ending I’ve seen a trailer to a Hollywood movie ever end with.
We’ve seen Vin Diesel do this kind of thing before in Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick and the rumor is the director’s original near 3 hour cut has been reduced dramatically - so there’s every chance this one has resulted in the kind of mess that many a cut sci-fi film endures.
Movie has about 1% buzz at this point, no-one is talking about it! The movie has a lot of marketing to do if it’s going to make a return on it’s $60 million budget.

Wait, so he’s taking care of a girl? Is this The Pacifier 2?
Awesome!
you should try to be a little less opinionated and a little bit more objective.
[...] talk of a studio cuts as far back as April, a hideous trailer and a slew of scathing reviews (0% on Rotten Tomatoes as of right now) have turned up online but [...]
I was hoping for a more objective review.
Were you guys in the documentary “heckler”?
