Babylon Audience Reviews

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
LeRoyMarko Short film made at the height of the Cold War. Arms proliferation as taken over the world. The vultures are flying above civilization and over what seems to be New York City. At a gathering of some sorts, a politician from the right or an arm producer (either one fits the bill) is giving a speech on the importance of protecting ourselves against our neighbours. To protect peace, we must have the latest war machines available. It's actually a reflection on what some countries, without naming them, are adopting as their policy to keep the world order. Whatever is the cost, we must protect ourselves. It's also the way a lot of politicians from the right are thinking. While the man is doing his speech, a Frankenstein-like ogre (who symbolize greed, profits and belligerence all at the same time)is growing bigger and bigger. He finally explode. From his belly, blood and arms kill everything around. A lesson for those who think they can promote peace with killing machines.75/100 (**½). Seen at home, in Toronto, on December 16th, 2004.
