Felt too grounded for a movie with such a great post-apocalyptic setting. Worth a watch, I suppose.Oh and don't read any further down in the comments... there be spoilers lurking.

thanks Jebus for saving us in our dire times with your mighty bookmaxdbn
Made me want to play Borderlandsmandapuspi
Ada "hidden" meaning sepertinya, given the book is the Holy Bible and to where Eli want to go is to the West. Anyway, Washington & Oldman was stunning playing their roles. Milla Kunis was so cool. Short appearance of Gambon & Tour was a nice surprise.Earring72
Ok movie, good first half! Weak ending....made me want to see Mad Max again :-)Boei
Had potential, but did not deliver. Only cool thing was the landscape and mood, and the fight at the tunnel.Metalmidget
Cool twist at the end, besides that... still a good movieSt. Gloede
Actually liked this. Didn't even mind the silly christian propaganda too much. Far from great of course.SrFrenzy
Nice, a way of seeing things differently.zombies4ever

The Book of Eli is a Hughes Bros. postcapocalyptic western in which Denzel Washington plays a holy warrior called Eli taking the last remaining Bible to a place out West where the Church can start again. Gary Oldman is the robber baron looking for the book whose town Eli unfortunately walks into, and Mila Kunis the young girl he rescues and turns into a disciple. Despite its big idea, and its kind of clever (but undersold) final twist, this is really just as action movie made with relatively little means. Its over-saturated sepia look smothers everything in deep black shadow, which at times seems to have been chosen to hide the cheap CGI's rough edges. Watchable, but just okay, which is how I feel about the other high-concept Hughes film I can name off the top of my head, From Hell.dream_tiger
The audible groans that came from the audience at the end.tiedyedvortex
I really, really wanted to like this movie. But the Beats headphone product placement ruined it for me. Also, I felt like the twist was completely unnecessary; I feel like the movie could have ended 15 minutes earlier and it would have been perfect.Carota

Really enjoyed this... for maybe 50 minutes, then it slowly degenerated until it reached a woeful Christianity circle jerk of an ending. Big shame.Showing items 1 – 15 of 31
