Babylon AD



Babylon AD is a feel which I honestly had no clue what it was supposed to be about when it finished. Ok, yes it's about Vin Diesel gruffly protecting a girl in a future dystopia but why, from whom and why she's significant I honestly could not tell you.

It does have a few nice bits of design and one or two interesting ideas (an onscreen credit for a refugee camp features a constantly rising population count) but sadly it all ends up a bit ramblingly incoherent and as such you don't invest in any of the characters which kind of nullifies any tension or excitement.

Also it loses points for suggesting a Humvee can be run off the road by a Landrover.
