Too bad. I like sci-fi.

jonny5 · Post by **jonny5** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 7:14 am

other than the fact that it takes place in the near future, and the story(?) revolves very loosely around AI(?), this is not sci fi...other than the fact that it is mentioned it plays no part in the movie.....it could just as easily been a western...there is no real story development, nothing is really explained....and by the end you are thinking ok....they are gonna lay it all out at the end in grand fashion......and the writers fucked off for lunch without finishing it......

by far the worst ending to an already weak movie i can remember......and i watch a lot of bad horror flicks.....

the ending could have saved the movie but they completely ruined it.....

honestly.....it felt like this was supposed to be a 2.5 hr movie and they cut out the hour that built the story and fleshed it out.....

and the worst part is there was hardly any action either.....and what there was was very poorly filmed

and the idea behind the movie and the overall story they are trying to portray could have been really cool.....

bloodrayne was better than this....

could be the end of Vin Diesel's career . . sigh.

At present, if Vin Diesel is starring in a movie, then this is a good indicator that said movie is going to be awful and should be avoided.

This, with Ceph's current sig, pretty much sums it up.

Yes, the entire world expects Babylon to be a huge blockbuster..........
Vin Diesel is a pretty good actor actually.
Pitch Black and Fast and the Furious are great movies.

Well, depends WHERE you see the movie. Next to the heavily cut PG13 version for US and UK audiences there's also the uncensored 101 minutes cut. The uncensored version has already been shown in France and will hit Germany on 9-11.
I liked the trailer so I'm definitely going to see it.

Unsurprisingly it's all the fault of FOX. Seems they don't just own the worst TV and news channels, they have the worst movie studio, too: http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.p ... 45&count=0

Good going, Rupert.

The ending to "I Am Legend" sucked even worse if you had read the book.

They totally completely 100% missed the ENTIRE POINT of the book.

There's supposed to be an upcoming fourth Fast and the Furious flick with Vin Diesel back in it. I wonder how that one will turn out? ^_~

vin diesel + hollywood movie=phail

other than pitch black and riddick.....but those were just awesome movies so it out weighed the degree of his sucking.....mind you he wasnt that bad in those films

everything else hes made to date on the other hand.....*insert fart noise*

subcons · Post by **subcons** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 10:52 pm

The Fast and the Furious franchise is just terrible, but it has nothing to do with Vin Diesel. They're just movies made for people that are into car culture, yet the people making them are completely clueless about said culture... or they just have bad taste, whatever.

Riddick was fucking good. I watched it going in with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I thought Pitch Black was a major bore fest though. Everything else he's done is garbage. I caught some of XXX on TV the other night and it was just laughably bad.

Never_Scurred · Post by **Never_Scurred** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 1:59 pm

You guys forget about Iron Giant. Vin was awesome in that movie. Riddick was ill, too but it was too much sci fi for the masses. Kinda reminded me stylistically of Dune as far as the costume design went .

I had money on the dog not dying when me and an Ex watched audition. My theory was just becuase its a dog does not mean its going to die since asian cinema is quite difrent from the west. . . how wrong was I its ok though I dumped her and she never got the cash.
