It was a mash-up of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome and Moses(Starring Charleston Heston)! The best scene was the opening sequence with rain of toxic ash and the need to kill hairless cats for food. The opening scene was so desolate and unkind it that the rest of the movie seems peachy! There were other unbelievable elements, like he's been walking the US for 30 years? (I mean even if you were letting "God" or "Faith" lead you, I think West has always been where the Sun sets, and the world painted in the movie had plenty of that to follow! Next, the iPod! What's with that? Most people in the world can't even get water and resort to cannibalism and Denzel has an iPod. Not to mention that finding a charge for his iPod would be a bitch, and keeping that charge even harder. My iPod seems to loose its charge faster and faster each month and he falls asleep to it every night! Lastly, the closing scene with Mila Kunis fading into the distance heat waves is just corny! No matter how much you like Mila! Her character was too naive and gullible to believe she could have survived alone. The best character of the whole movie was Mila Kunis' mother. She was the key to this stories' protaganist and didn't give him resolution. Best twist ever, even though I saw it coming a mile and called the twist halfway through the movie! Although, an interesting view of a bleak religion-less future, in the end "The Book of Eli" was boring, predictable, and unrealistic. Sorry, I cannot agree! Horrible movie!

There were other unbelievable elements, like he’s been walking the US for 30 years? (I mean even if you were letting “God” or “Faith” lead you, I think West has always been where the Sun sets, and the world painted in the movie had plenty of that to follow!

Next, the iPod! What’s with that? Most people in the world can’t even get water and resort to cannibalism and Denzel has an iPod. Not to mention that finding a charge for his iPod would be a bitch, and keeping that charge even harder. My iPod seems to loose its charge faster and faster each month and he falls asleep to it every night!

The best character of the whole movie was Mila Kunis’ mother. She was the key to this stories’ protaganist and didn’t give him resolution. Best twist ever, even though I saw it coming a mile and called the twist halfway through the movie!

Although, an interesting view of a bleak religion-less future, in the end “The Book of Eli” was boring, predictable, and unrealistic. Sorry, I cannot agree!
