      A string of question marks - "Babylonian Age" that I didn't understand

      I watched the movie before the introduction. After watching the movie, I found that the content in the introduction was completely nonsense. Probably because the content involves religion, many plots have not been explained clearly, and the development of the story is also inexplicable. I watched a 90-minute version first, but I didn't understand it, and then downloaded a 100-minute unrated version. Did not understand.

        Since there are some invisible details in this type of film, I...

      "Babylonian Age" after watching

      I finally got free yesterday and waited for the DVD version. After reading the four words - I still have nothing to say.
          The male protagonist is as cool as ever, Michelle Yeoh has no character in it, and doesn't leave any impression, while the saintess perform well, sometimes she looks ugly from different angles, sometimes she is beautiful, women, it's like this.
          The stunt scene is not very new, it is mixed with American-style punk arena, the XXX-Men's turtle qigong blocks the...

      Michelle Yeoh, are you making soy sauce...

      I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that Michelle Yeoh's character is simply soy sauce...

      At first I thought she was the heroine, and I thought it was a bit reluctant to ask her to be the heroine... So I just made do with it.
      It's an action movie after all. When we were stopped by a group of weirdos who looked like parkour, we still wanted to watch it. Let's give them some Chinese Kung Fu!

      incomplete explanation

      Let me tell you a few words about my own feelings. I like the movie "The Age of Babylon". For people in a confused age like me, it is enough to find something I like. No matter what other criticisms, I will thank this film. The movie brings me joy! and that's awesome!

      A lot of boring gunfights and explosions, the only thing you can watch is the special effects of Aurora's stand-up bomb and bomb flight view that add up to less than 30 seconds. The ending song is alright, but halfway through it makes the idiots rap again, the lyrics you ain't never seen bigger threat, the self-confidence double negative in the standard African American dialect accurately indicates the racial IQ, and the rap is really fucking...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The script of the film changed the destination of the mercenary escort in the novel from Canada to China.
    The crew searched for suitable locations throughout Europe, but the progress was still affected by the warm winter weather during the shooting   . It was difficult to find a snow scene that could last six to eight days of shooting .
    At first, the production company really wanted to position the film as a dark action film, but taking...

    Evaluation action

    "Babylon AD" uses more fantasy elements, combined with a lot of actions and music, to introduce the audience into a nihilistic future world. The desolation created by the special effects of the film makes the audience feel as if they are really at the end of the world. The plot of the film is tortuous, quite "thrilling", and the ending is quite surprising (China Jiangxi Net Review)  .
    "Babylon AD" started off quite wonderfully, with a...
