YMMV / Babylon A.D.

---

• Funny Moments:
  • The High Priestess is on the phone with Russian mob boss Gorsky.
  High Priestess: Mr Gorsky, when I kill, I kill for good.
  Gorsky: Are you threatening me?
  High Priestess: Bless your soul.
  Gorsky: You'll need a nuke to kill me!
  (Gorsky's security system detects an incoming missile)
  Gorsky: Bitch...
  • When a sinister doctor is examining Aurora in New York City, she remarks that he's a bad man. He nods in response.
• Fridge Logic: The whole virgin birth gambit. In the year Ab urbe condita 753/1 AD, a woman giving birth without having had sex would be miraculous. With in vitro and such that we have now (not to mention what fertility related medical tech we'd probably have 20 Minutes in the Future), it's weird in a "Why would you do that?" sort of way, but certainly not a miracle in the religious sense.
• One-Scene Wonder: Parkour founder David Belle returns from District 13 as Darquainder's traceur leader.
• So Bad, It's Good: Vin Diesel dragging a shrieking, flailing, judgmental pseudo-Messiah across post-apocalyptic Russia, only to find out she's pregnant with psychic babies. Yeah. It has one of the most poorly explained/edited Gainax Endings outside of Japan, but it's still an entertaining Vin-Diesel-punches-people movie.
• Tear Jerker:
  • The refugees drowning in the Bering Strait after the submarine closes its hatches on them.
  • Aurora's preprogrammed death in childbirth.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: In Babylon Babies an outlaw biker war in Canada is the result of two rival sects using criminals to wage Proxy War on each other; a metaphor for Third World conflict as a result of First & Second World rivalries.
