In the near future, mercenary Toorop (Vin Diesel) is hired by Russian mobster Gorsky (Gérard Depardieu) to smuggle Aurora (Mélanie Thierry) from an isolated convent to New York City in six days. They are joined by her guardian Sister Rebeka (Michelle Yeoh). Noelite High Priestess (Charlotte Rampling) eagerly waits for their arrival. Toorop finds his old friend Finn (Mark Strong) to help smuggle them into America.It's a slightly different dystopia. It holds some promise but director Mathieu Kassovitz lacks the visual confidence to bring it to life. The action is manic without the thrills. The bigger problem is the lack of tension. Despite lots of action, the story is rather bland. I never care about any of the characters or their journey. The three international leads don't have chemistry together. The dialog isn't anything to write home about either. It could use some good jokes and somebody funny to deliver them. Something confusing happens in the second half which loses any chance I have with this movie. This is a waste.

I sometimes don't get it on how the world still goes 'round. Usually I come to this website, look at how many points a movie scored and then watch it. This time it was the opposite. Had a movie spree weekend and wanted to see all of the unseen up to date, so I started searching. Found this title, saw the trailer, got some microwave popcorn and pressed play. I got the idea from the start, some parts were predictable, some others were not, but with the 5+ score it got I was absolutely in shock and ran to the motherland of movie websites, signed up and reviewed this picture in motion. I am terrified on how many people just don't appreciate a good movie. It's 2008 and this is a futuristic image. We didn't get to the moon and you should know that by now. Moving fast forward, if you like Vin Diesel, watch the movie. If you feel that he could have done better, I agree even more. However, rating this with lower than 7/10 wouldn't be fair. If you don't like it I suggest making a movie of your own, better ! Fact is fact, religion has too many benefits and is going towards a dark age of bad ideas.Go figure why there were black and white babies, you coca-cola advertisement lovers, it's for the mind-washing machine public and those 2 billion new believers that ugly lady in the movie was talking about. Since this is my first review I don't expect you all to like it, but after all that wasn't the purpose of this website after all. Enjoy !

In a near future, mercenary Toorop is hired to take a woman named Aurora from aConvent in to New York. In return, he will receive a large amount of money and a clear passport. Toorop joins Aurora and her guardian Sister Rebeka as they cross the dangerous Russian landscape chased by mercenaries that also want Aurora. On their journey, Toorop discovers that Aurora has special abilities and once in New York, Aurora discloses that she is a virgin and pregnant with twin., Toorop realise that there is something sinister behind his mission and that he and Sister Rebeka are not part of Gorsky's plans.Another huge failure from Diesel and Co, this was more of the studios fault rather than the star and director, and it's clear that this was chopped up to the point that it's almost difficult to comprehend what is going on other that we move from set piece to set piece with little happening I between.If you liked Diesel in A Man Apart and other below average offerings from him (more or less everything he's done post Pitch Black), you will discover that he plays the same character in every film, looking moody and fed up.Mark Strong and Cyrano De Bergerac show up for no good reason, and the whole thing finishes abruptly without much explanation of anything.It's Children of Men for people with a non-existent attention span, and while not as bad as it made out to be, it's pretty darn close.

Terrible script, terrible storyline, cheap graphics, total rip of Blade Runner, practically shot for shot in places, the ending makes no sense, and i like Kassovitz, La Haine was amazing, he was great in Amelie, just the worst film ever, Babylon AD, big dull dud, Vin Diesal mutters through out. All it needs is the Wilhelm scream, nothing is explained in ad i don't need to see a dead cat chopped up and eaten. Gerard Depardieu looks like a potato, it also rips off Star Wars when hes in Tattooine, god i cant hate this film enough. Im sure there is a wall with wet paint on it that is preferable to watching this film, its 90 minutes of my life i wont get back, what about Ramplings character? What happens to her? she just walks off after apparently searching for her kid for years, come on! I mean the only difference is she actually stayed fully clothed for once. Avoid at all costs.
