I watched Babylon A.D. this weekend, and for an average movie goer it is a decent film. I hadn't heard of the book it was based on before I saw the movie, but judging by the quality of the movie and what I have read online since there is alot more going on in the story than the movie shows. It did take a lot of work not to fall into the giant plot holes, but it was still a decent Sci-Fi action movie.
But, as a Shadowrun player I really enjoyed it. Vin Diesel's character is essentially a shadowrunner, and the entire movie has a very 2070 feel sans magic. It has genetic manipulation, cyberware, black markets, opposing coporate-esque organizations, and plenty of dystopian fun. I recommend seeing it with your Shadowrun group.
