Positive Experience/Entertaining? It looks great. Like a Syriana.

Technically any good? The movie follows three stories in three different parts of the world and the title suggests that the stories parallel, in some way, the story of the tower of Babel. That’s where mankind was one giant civilization that got punished by God for thinking they could reach heaven without God’s help, via this tower, so he smashed the tower and split everyone up to different corners of the world and made it so they couldn’t understand each other. The trailer makes the film look tightly edited, well acted and very intense.

How did it leave me feeling? Excited to see it. I love smart movies that deal with culture and politics in a realistic manner. Hopefully, people won’t be too scared of that subject matter and will actually see the film.

Final Rating? SOON - See On Opening Night

BABEL Opens in limited release in the US on October 27, 2006 and you check out the trailer for yourself here.
