Admittedly, I am a big fan of adult movies. And no, it isn't just for the obvious reasons. I like the ones that have a developing plot and that feature people who are attempting to act and attempting to look comfortable in the setting of the movie. Too often, no attempt is even made (just a bunch of naked people flopping around). Occasionally, I'll find one that is a good movie which happens to be adult (The Dinner Party). Somewhere in between falls Babylon. The plot is intricate in the way that so few adult flicks are. While I very much appreciate that, this is also the major flaw of Babylon. Lexus shines as an innocent girl who learns the ways of physical love (all manners of it) in a world she discovers called Babylon. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast falls short of keeping up. Jeanna Fine (one of my personal favorites) is brilliantly cast as the wicked aunt/queen, but she is wasted with a nonsense script. The rest are completely forgettable characters. And the action is simply average (although it should be mentioned that there is a scene in this film that you don't routinely come across in mainstream adult movies so be warned). Overall, Lexus is very good, Jeanna is wasted, and the rest is forgettable. Not the biggest waste of time in the world but you can do far better.
