Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies: Babylon A.D. (2008)

Pih. Maybe you should stop acting like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I just can't stand the guy. Every single role he takes seems identical from what I've seen—just some irritating, cocky tough guy with zero actual charisma.

My absolute favorite actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, just dropped a trailer for his new flick 🙂....it’s hitting theaters here in the USA on August 29th, and I wanted to share two trailers with you guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC6wVcoS8OM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyhEHKB6cmY

There’s already a thread about this movie with way more info...👍

Sorry—I'm still pretty new here, and I honestly can't for the life of me figure out how to work this forum's search engine!!!😵

Alright, I just gave this a shot and everything seems to be working perfectly now. 😁

Babylon A.D.

Director: Mathieu Kassovitz

Cast:
Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh, Mélanie Thierry, Gérard Depardieu, Mark Strong, Lambert Wilson, Charlotte Rampling

Plot: Veteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop takes The high-risk job of escorting a woman fra Russia to America

Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyhEH...eature=related

So, after experimenting with different genres for a while, Vin is finally getting back to his roots—pure, unadulterated sci-fi action. 🙂 He isn't playing the usual Mr. Riddick here, though. Instead, we have Thoorop, a hero who feels a bit more distinct from the Riddick archetype. I’m keeping my expectations grounded, of course. Still, I'm hoping for a solid two-hour popcorn flick. It would be nice to see Jason Statham finally face some real competition.

Oops... my apologies to the moderator...
I didn't see this thread pop up in the search results.

Vin is waking up again—alongside Babylon A.D., we've got the fourth installment of Fast and Furious and Hannibal The Conqueror (that historical epic about the famous Carthaginian general) hitting theaters next year. He also dropped news that he and Twothy have officially teamed up again to start working on the second and third parts of the Riddick chronicles. Yeeeeah. 😁

To be fair, the director basically admitted the movie is pretty mindless... just pure violence and nonsense... stuff like that lol🤣

Yeah, Kassovitz basically nuked his own movie. 🤣 Here we go. I can't see the link you're referring to! Drop it in the chat so I can take a look.. 😬

Landing in second place with an opening weekend under $10 million tells you pretty much everything you need to know: it’s a total flop.

In a perfect world, someone would just hand Mathieu Kassovitz all of the BABYLON A.D. footage and let him tighten up the edit himself. We'd probably end up with something way more impactful than this messy patchwork. As it stands, All of The BABYLON A.D. felt too diluted, choppy, and just plain clumsy. It's like think a bubble Gum version of Children of Men cut together by an ADHD Apa. Still, thanks Zeus above or is IT below that the pacing was fast and furious, the cast was solid, and I actually found it pretty entertaining. I'm seriously crossing my fingers for a Director’s Cut on Blu-ray. I'd drop some cash on that in a heartbeat. Just make it happen!

I’m actually starting to feel pretty bad for Vin Diesel... he just can't seem to catch a break with his movies lately—though, who knows, maybe the rest of the world will carry him through, kind of like how things went with the Riddickov chronicles!!!

I'm wondering, why is the premiere for this movie being pushed back so "late" here in the States?

I honestly wonder if they even tried to finish this thing. It’s such a disaster that it probably needed a solid 60 or 70 minutes shaved off just to be watchable.😂🤣

Does anyone know where I can track down the Director's cut? Feel free to shoot me a DM.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the DC hasn't been released yet

I caught the trailer yesterday right before watching Fast & Furious, and honestly, I’m just not feeling this movie at all.
