What are critics saying?

Boston Globe by

When this Vin Diesel vehicle isn't pointlessly frenzied, it's narratively inert, wasting some decent production design, and a French-flavored cast primed for fun.

The New York Times by A.O. Scott

Our judgments, in any case, may be superfluous, since the director, Mathieu Kassovitz, has already publicly described it as "pure violence and stupidity."

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

The plot makes absolutely no sense.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli

The lackluster acting and horrendous dialogue don't help.

The A.V. Club by Keith Phipps

As long it sticks to that chase, Babylon A.D. remains a sub-passable lead-footed action film with neat scenery.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen

A towering heap of nihilistic nonsense that plays like a cornball "Children of God."
