[huh?] Movie Confusion

[will_couvillier]

Just came back from Babylon A. D.

Anyone else?  Anyone read the book, Babylon Babies?  Cause I seriously need to see the point of this flick.

The effects are sweet, if harsh.  The future depicted very stark.  The action was fast, to the point where I was feeling that hey, the choreographers found the best way to hide blunders by making things too fast.  And the movie was pretty coherent.

But...where's the point?  The religious build was evident from way early, and in that light one can pretty much think of a couple points.  But the cut off ending just doesn't work for me.  I felt the same at the end of the second Riddick.

Man.  Shoulda went to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.

I heard the other day that there is likely to be a Riddick 3 & 4. I'm hoping they ditch the stuff from the 2nd and just go for the gritty, low-budget feel of Pitch Black. Best Aliens clone ever.

Personally, I rather like the Riddick character. It will be good to see more, as long as things are well done to the first.
