why do i keep doing this to myself? why do i keep agreeing to watch movies that i know are going to suck hard? will i never learn?this is a movie set in a dystopic near future where the hero has to do his best to save the world. vin diesel is a man hired to transport a girl from a secluded monastery to new york city. hes a tough guy with little to say because hes so macho (we dont really get a better reason than that). as he takes her and her kung fu nun caretaker around the world we find out that she has some sort of psychic powers and shes pregnant. some religious group wants her for some reason that is never made very clear, and some criminals want her for some reason that is made even less clear. all the while vin diesel is busy being macho, which takes a lot of effort to do. they arrive, after the inevitable snowmobile stunt show and a battle with the always popular unnecessary attack drones. at one point he dies, then comes back with robot parts (which plays absolutely no part in the story what so ever), she has her baby, and diesel continues to be macho.
at least thats as much as i got out of it. the story doesnt make much sense, and i dont think the writers understood it either. in truth, i was waiting for some one to call out 'archers- switch to night arrows!' it would have made about as much sense...
