Warning: It's impossible to fully evaluate The Book of Eli in a review without divulging what some may consider to be spoilers, even though the film and the trailers make no effort to hide this 'spoiler'. A spoiler warning is therefore in effect, but ... read more

A man travels across a post apocalyptic wasteland. He has been travelling for 30 years in search of the west, while he has possession of one book, the only copy remaining of a book that everyone wants. He must protect the book from falling into the hands of the wrong person. He meets his match in Carnegie (Oldman) who will stop at nothing to gain possession of this book so he can use for evil.

Although I am a fan of all things post-apocalyptic I found this to be rather disappointing. It did have some things going for it - the cinematography was nice, effectively using a muted colour palette. The acting was decent enough with a solid performance from Denzel Washington in the lead role, though he never gets to do anything particularly interesting, and able support from leading lady Mila... read more

The future kind of sucks. (430 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: It's like The Road Warrior, without cars, or The Road, without Viggo Mortenesen, or The Postman, without Kevin Costner. You get the idea. Year it takes place: Thirty years after a nuclear apocalypse."

My Top 199 Favorite Sci-Fi Movies... Of Like, Ever (199 movies items)

" Armageddon has come and gone, and the survivors of this now post-apocalyptic world don't know how to read. So, when a stranger with a book comes to town, that can be quite a dangerous thing to the law of the land in which only the strong survive. This movie isn't really much of a game-changer when it comes to the genre of devastated dystopiaa, but with A-list actors like Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis, Gary Oldman, and that one big dude from the Rome TV series at the helm, and a decent scrip"

"Denny Dubs does it again! He is one of the few entirely reliable leads in the industry. He know how to carry a movie no matter what. The post-apocalyptic setting is nothing inventive or interesting, even if the filming techniques tried to make it so. Oldman once again proves he knows how to play bad. The rest of the cast is forgettable. "
