Bu film hakkında

In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli (Denzel Washington) seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive--and continue. Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds, and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted daughter Solara (Mila Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather's domain.

The plot was somewhat short, so I feel it should be treated as a "very long short". In addition, the ad-placement was far too obvious throughout the movie, but it didn't interfere with anything. Action scenes were sweet, but short, few and far between. Critiques aside, the movie successfully resembled that post-apocalyptic wasteland many (including myself) have wanted to see in fiction, and the music was amazing.

but to save that book? It should been a compendium of math and science understanding to date. then it would have been heroic. But no one would claim the creationist has bragging rights on brains.

Excellant story! Good acting and surprise ending. But somehow the movie still left you feeling like something was missing. Close to awesome but just missed it.
