Preview: Babylon A.D. (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

Stylizing the New York City of the future is a nice touch and is the story, but having the image off-kilter to explain the film's tones and putting a hooded figure in the center hardly makes for a good selling point.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

I've stopped expecting quality from Vin Diesel and this looks like a lame attempt at a Blade Runner style with too many action sequences and very little story.

Oscar Prospects:

This might be a contender for Art Dirction, but that would probably be its only hope of Oscar recognition and a rather slim one at that.

Release Date:

• August 29, 2008
