Babylon A.D. review by DC Tauntaun

I swear that is the first time someone said, "the budget is up", the director said "but we haven't filmed the final act?", the other said "sorry, you're done" and they put out the film like that. Talk about a horrendous decision in whomever was trying to create the artsy ending. Imagine watching 3 quarters of a tight football game, and then the announcers come on and say "oh by the way, the Steelers won". And there you have everything you need to know about this film. No matter how much fun you think you might be having in the beginning (it's really not very good), you will not be able to swallow the ending. There are some creative angles to the futuristic world and how the people are dealing with it, but coming from a guy that likes pointless entertainment in movies, this film doesn't even get to pointless. Although it is not in the list of my worst films ever made, I will be shocked to hear anyone who makes excuses for this one.
