I agree with most of the other reviews on here - boring, bleak and just a plain chore to sit through. Vin Diesel has the strong, silent type down pat, but maybe it's time to move on. A seriously unlikable movie.

Well it wasn´t good... I thought it started out some what interestingly, but it quickly turned into boring and pointless.

What is so bad ?

Am I the only one who thought it was ok ?

I know the ending could of been a lot better but come on the director had to make the film a lot shorter and I know he even said the end product was rubbish but I thought it was a decent film. The Only bit that I thought was stupid was how on the side of a plane it said Coca Cola Zero - that was just stupid.

Hopefully the Extended Version on DVD will be better

A rogue mercenary is hired to transport a genetically engineered version of the Virgin Mary, named Aurora, and her martial arts expert of a nun-guardian to America. The purpose is that the girl will have a virgin birth which will initiate that the Neolite religion, which is never explained or explored, become the most dominate in the world.

Explaining all this is time consuming and burdonsome, but not nearly as burdensome as sitting through and awaiting this mess to end. It is obviously a sci-fi version of the Jesus story, the mercenary even gets his palms pierced to reference Jesus' death, and then he's brought back to life and given a robotic hand a...

A bleak future...for film

One has to approach this turkey with the same trepidation as walking a tightrope with a blindfold on. It looks like it will be a bad movie from the get go, but a couple of moments during the trailer make it look like a fun throwaway action movie. This however is not the case, in fact, there’s barely any action to be found in its 90 minute running time.
During the exposition, we learn just about everything we need to know. Vin Diesel portrays a badass mercenary. With a body like his and his tendency to appear in just about any movie offered to him, what else would you expect him to play? He’s hired by shady criminal czar Gerard Depardieu (who’s heavily made-up to appear even uglier than he already is, and heavily dubbed as well) to transport young girl, Aurora (Melanie Th...

Alright I am confused by this movie. Is this a sci-fi remake of a tv show, or can I just go there and enjoy the movie without knowing anything about it?

I loved Vin Diesel in Pitch Black and his character looks just like Riddick so I want to check it out.

BTW: Vin Diesel's only good rolls: Boiler Room, Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick and Fast and Furious. xXx was horrible!

Yeah...hopefully there will be a good DVD but I doubt it.  This was made by a decent director right?  Or at least above average.
