Babylon A.D.

...But XXX was pretty bad though.


I can't believe I was so crazed about seeing that. It was my Vin Obsession at the time. No one could tell me that man wasn't Fine as Hell.

You think that looks to over the top in a sci fi movie ? a sci fi movie with ppl absorbing rockets to the face no less lol. xXx didn't invent high stunt stuff either.

Just because it's scifi doesn't mean it can't have some realism. I don't care about over the topness but dodging missiles is a little much. And I compared it to XXX cause it had Vin Diesel doing a lot of crazy stunts. And you can't really compare it to the absorbing the missile. It's established that she has superhuman abilities and we can't complain about her realism. We can say it's not realistic when we know it's a stretch for a human being to dodge a missile on a snowmobile in mid air. Don't get me wrong though, this still looks awesome.t:

 

[xwolverine2]

I can stop missiles....with ma MIND.

lmao...

that scene reminds me of that awful scene in resident evil 3 where milla is lookin at a wall of fire as the camera spins around her

It seems to me though that film is not really going for realism in any of it's premises, and the hero (Anti hero) doing something like dodging a missile seems to fit into that world IMO......Plus i love how it is shot.

The RZA, Hans Zimmer Teamed Up to Score Vin Diesel’s Babylon A.D.

Posted on Thursday, June 26th, 2008 at 8:21 pm by: Hunter Stephenson

​

One is the feted composer of films like True Romance and The Dark Knight, the other is the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan and a killer composer in his own right (Ghost Dog, Kill Bill). What do they both have in common? They both made appearances on the latest Slashfilm Muxtape! And in yet another example of the /Film Effect, Zimmer and the RZA have combined their magic to score Vin Diesel’s Babylon A.D., the sci-fi chaser opening late August that has taken forever to get released. Here’s what the guy also known as Bob Digi told an alt newspaper…

“The RZA’s team and Hans Zimmer’s team have combined to create a hybrid kind of score for this movie that’s based in the future. So I think it’s going to be a good vibe for the audience out there, and it’s a good movie anyway – a very thought-provoking movie,” said The RZA (who got away with a lil’ third-person, but he’s The RZA, so hey!)
​

And add one more name to the film’s composer pot, Shavo Odadjian, the bassist for System of a Down aka “kids these days, I’ll tell ya.” That seems like a lot of effort/talent for a movie that hasn’t exactly put Geekdom on drool alert. RZA added that Tarantino has been holed up like a squirrel for many months—working on Inglorious Bastards, probs—and that he still mentions doing something more with Kill Bill, but, like a girl who leaves ya hangin’ on the phone, we all know how that goes.

I like what the RZA did on Blade Trinity and Kill Bill

I thought it was a great spoof on spy films. It's funny to see other people can become one besides some Ivy league rich boys with tobacco and secret societies.

When is this out in the US? I know here its the end of August.

August 29th, 2008. It's at the tail end of the blockbuster season.

That's good. Most of the really good films come out before or after that season.

 

[terry78]

I honestly think the RZA should rap over a Hans Zimmer composed track. That would be the cut of the year. That would be 2008's Nelly/Tim McGraw collabo.

[Fanticon]

I'm definitely gonna see this! I will still support Vin even if he does have some bad ones under his belt and even this does feel like a type-cast Riddick role.

 

[Gotham]

Great new trailer.

The opening shot is fantastic.

 

[RickO'Connell]

That is not a new trailer. It is just the HD version of the trailer on IGN with no IGN logo. But it is still a kick ass trailer

 

[TNC9852002]

Looks very interesting..

[PLAS]

didn't know there was a thread about this movie
or maybe I hadn't noticed

interestingly enough, I found a copy of Babylon Babies (the book this movie is based upon) for a very cheap prize at this local bookstore, so I bought it and read it

it would be interesting to see it done

and yes, if you find it, check it out, it's filled with mind****s

Four weeks left until premiere! Booya!

Here is one review.

http://www.worstpreviews.com/review.php?id=755&section=preview


I never had much interest in this film to begin with. Vin Diesel hasn't been in anything I enjoyed since XXX. Also, Fox's track record with sci-fi movies has been pretty bad since the early nineties. I'll pass on this film.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Empire gave it 2 Stars out of 5, i bet the short run-time has gutted this movie, as Fox tends to do with all of its blockbusters, idiots.

 

[The Squirrel]

This looks really cool!

That review came off more like an indictment against cyber-punk science fiction.
