Is this the best Vin Diesel can do? Unfortunately for him, I think we all know the answer.

“Babylon A.D.” is a sci-fi thriller that brings no thrill at all. It’s disappointing from its first three minutes to its last ten seconds. But why bother to criticize the movie when even its director, Mathieu Kassovitz, told amctv.com that “Babylon A.D.” is nothing but “pure violence and stupidity.”

Based on the sci-fi novel “Babylon Babies,” written by Maurice Georges Dantec, the movie opens in a futuristic society in which, of course, Vin Diesel’s character is a mercenary. Gorsky (Gérard Depardieu), a tactless gangster, gives Diesel’s Toorop the assignment of escorting a young woman named Aurora (Mélanie Thierry) from a convent in Kazakhstan to New York via Alaska and Canada. It seems like an ordinary mission to Toorop. Well, it’s not. Aurora’s go-getting guardian comes along, Sister Rebeka, evidently played by Michelle Yeoh, a nun with a foggy past, which could actually prove to be the explanation for her aggressive ways of dealing with anything that she bumps into.

However, Toorop swiftly discovers that Aurora is the scientifically conceived pawn of a priestess (Charlotte Rampling), who uses the girl in every single way she can.

A future Virgin Mary, Virgin Aurora that is, the girl is pregnant with twins that have the potential to become the next Messiahs. Thus, everybody wants to get their hands on the girl, or twins, or whatever.

The plot is senseless and ridiculous, while the action scenes are chaotic and unselective. It makes you wonder if this was even meant to be a real movie.

Moreover, Vin Diesel is so unnatural and twisted that an out of this world creature role would match him perfectly. But wait, this is not “X-Files.”
