"It's a great story -- tender without being sentimental, great for kids, engaging for adults, and with a four-legged protagonist who's as good and decent a hero as you could ask for in Hollywood."

"Babylon A.D. is a bad, bloated big-budget science fiction film that doesn't even have the distinction of being memorably horrible or fascinatingly inept; it's simply a lump of product, a failure too expensive to simply discard."
