I have a feeling that the messy execution of "Babylon A.D." was the fault of the studio (FOX has been doing this kind of thing a lot recently) and not the director. The fact that Kassovitz has turned his back on FOX and claims this cut of the film isn't his says a lot about the production of the film (Kassovitz' intended version of the film was 15 minutes longer). I'm interested to see his director's cut because, despite it's many flaws and storyline that runs rampant and direction-less, "Babylon A.D." had its moments. I would recommend all parties that are interested to skip out on this one and wait for a Director's Cut when it hits DVD. While the action is here, we've already seen plenty of movies this past summer that executed special effects ad action a much smarter fashion ("Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk", "The Dark Knight", "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"...). This is by far one of the most disappointing movie experiences of the year for me, thus far. The only thing this film managed to instill in me is a longing for another Riddick film from Vin Diesel. All-in-all, "Babylon A.D." is very much a dumped film in a dumped week at the ass end of summer.
