TV Guide Magazine
Rich with atmosphere but too similar to films ranging from "Children of Men" to "Doomsday" to carve out its own distinctive niche. - 40
Variety
A noisier, costlier version of "Children of Men," yet lacking that film's social-political significance and jaw-dropping direction. - 40
Empire
Brawny but brainless techno-twaddle. - 38
ReelViews
The lackluster acting and horrendous dialogue don't help. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
When martial arts star Michelle Yeoh shows up as a pious, butt-kicking nun, you have to wonder if Kassovitz isn't accidentally cribbing from Mel Brooks, too. - 33
The A.V. Club
As long it sticks to that chase, Babylon A.D. remains a sub-passable lead-footed action film with neat scenery. - 25
Boston Globe
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. - 20
New York Daily News
The plot makes absolutely no sense.
