Où regarder Babylon A.D.
- Callum28 décembre 2025⭐⭐⭐½ – Babylon A.D. – Grit, gunfire, and a plot that eats itself. It’s been a while since I last watched this — maybe eighteen months — but the opening still sticks. Brutal, grounded, and confidently bleak. For a moment, it feels like it knows exactly what it wants to be: a hard-edged, near-future slog through a world that’s already lost its soul. Then the story keeps going. What starts as grimy sci-fi slowly drifts into outright absurdity, piling ideas on ideas until the tone collapses under its own weight. You can almost feel the film fighting itself — part street-level dystopia, part grand metaphysical nonsense — and never quite deciding which one deserves to win. The result is messy, uneven, and undeniably compromised. I’ve heard it called a poor man’s Children of Men. I can’t really judge that comparison firsthand, so I’ll take it with a grain of salt, but I can see where the sentiment comes from. Babylon A.D. wants to say something about faith, control, and the future of humanity — it just doesn’t have the discipline to land those ideas cleanly. And yet… I still kind of like it. Maybe it’s the atmosphere. Maybe it’s Vin Diesel dialling things down into a weary, functional performance. Or maybe it’s Mark Strong, who reliably elevates anything he’s in just by showing up and taking the material seriously. Whatever the reason, this film earned a few bonus points in my head despite its flaws. It’s not good-good. But it’s interesting-bad in a way that sticks longer than it probably should. 🥃 A cheap whisky in a scratched glass — rough, warming, and better than you expect once you’ve committed to it.
