Review: Book of Eli

I must admit, we went in with a few preconceived notions. Husby thought that the main character was going to be Elijah the prophet. I thought that the movie would be about the book of Elijah the prophet, like an untold epistle.

We were both wrong.
Extremely wrong.

The movie takes place after the apocalypse and is based upon biblical truths. There are elements that remind me of these movies:

“Castaway”
“Resident Evil”
“I am Legend”
“Blade”

If you like any of those movies, imagine them all wrapped into one plot. There was an unexpected twist to the story which really made you want to stand up and cheer.

We watched it in a theater with very few people, but they were animated. When crazy things happened, we all gasped.

Denzel was impeccable. One of the best movies he has made.
