Vin diesel's latest movie a d-i-ss-a-p-o-i-n-m-e-n-t

"BABYLON A.D"

(Dato' Michelle Yeoh, Melanie Thierry & Mr. Macho Man Himself in one of the scenes)

Okay, like all the thousand Vin Diesel fans we thronged thru the cinema (which surprisingly had verrryyy little people and mannyyy empty seats) Coke and all (Without popcorn sadly, but the 1901 Connie's made up for it!) and waited impatiently in our seats for the damn adverts to finish and the show of the most anticipated to start.

After it does, we comfortably adjusted ourselves and watch...only to be disappointed in the storyline (Or was it the scenes that has been suspiciously cut by our dear censorship board?) and irritating acting by lead actress Mélanie Thierry as Aurora who constantly acts Jekyll and Hyde syndrome, my partner the hardcore Vin Diesel fan was very disappointed.

It doesn't bring out the best of Vin, nor does it bring out the challenging streak he normally possessed in most movie. Bad choice of script I would say, even with mild jokes such as one of the scenes where they we're in a submarine and Aurora was sleeping and Rebekka (played by our dear dato' Michelle Yeoh) the nun was talking to Toorop (Vin Diesel), later after that Toorop's pal from the other side whispered saying Aurora shows virus syndrome and she might spread it across the globe and Toorop's answer to that was " If she's having it, I'll kill her myself and burn her body" to which at the exact moment, Aurora's eyes shot open and stared eerily into his eyes as though she heard him.

After the drama, when it was late at night and Toorop was out of the tent throwing the bullet shells, Aurora came out and sat beside him despite being told to go back into the tent and sleep. More talk and here's comes the funny part, " Toorop?" "Hmph? yeah?" "Are you really going to kill me and burn my body?"......."Well...I hope not"

All said and done, I feel the best acting was non other than our dear Dato' Michelle Yeoh for playing the part of the caring-overprotective nun, though I must say that in the early stages of the movie her slang and English is questionable as I was pondering why she was having such a hard time pronounciating the words when she's obviously much more capable of doing better than that I'm sure, then again, the director must've underestimated her and force her to put on the ugly accent.

In conclusion, if you're a die hard Vin Diesel fan then please spare yourself and your change. Don't bother watching this as you've been warned. On the up side, if you're not then feel free by all means.
