A post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. An excellent story, however not much of the movie stood out.
Acting: The characters had next to no emotion. Very few characters showed anger, fear, love, or hate. Eli (Denzel Washington), could be described as Clint Eastwood in a Wild West movie, he didn't talk much, but he didn't need to because his actions spoke louder than words.
Setting: "The Book of Eli" is set in the future, 30 years after an event which wiped out almost everything. The various camera angles clearly show how they live in a world that is almost nothing.
Plot: The plot was a very simple one, Eli just needs to take a sacred object in his possession to it's final resting place.
Worth Seeing? Yes. Although not the greatest piece of art made, it was still worth seeing. It does take a bit to sit through the whole movie, but if you pay attention to the message behind it, it's not a waste of your time. I'd give it a 6/10.
