This movie is so underrated.

A samurai and western epic with a God-ordained quest all rolled into one. I *do* love this movie

Denzel was so cool in the Book of Eli.

Among the top ten movies I've seen over the last thirty years. One of those movies, like The Shawshank Redemption, A History of Violence, Mad Max: Fury Road and a precious few others, where its reputation will continue to gradually build as more people come to know it and appreciate its virtues...Very simple, direct, effective, and moving. Dynamite performances from the entire cast...even in brief roles, like Tom Waits' pawn dealer, or Evan Jones as the bike gang leader and Chris Browning's hijacker. A stark, unique, poignant, beautiful fable.

This movie was straight fire! It is a masterpiece of acting, directing, and film. I am not a fan of cgi normally, but they used just the right amount of film tricks, and small touches of cgi to make the sky look polluted and washed out. As for Denzel, this film must be his tip acting since Glory. I still think Glory was his best acting, but this is a close second. He brings an emotional aspect to this film of a mixture of hope and distaste for the current state of humanity. This movie was thought provoking and entertaining at the same time. I'm not sure to many actors could have pulled this one off, especially with the entirely burned out whole end of the world scenario, its just been beat into the ground in the last twenty years, but this one had such a great storyline , to think it was all over a Bible, one man guarded by angels seeking to restore faith, the other seeking to use it to control people, and everyone knowing it caused the great war that destroyed everything, I mean who could think this story up and make it work like this, pure poetry.

It doesn’t mention Christianity. And it should not be ignored that the villain wants the book because of its history of usefulness in controlling people, nor that after the war that ended civilization the survivors had burned all the Bibles. Maybe the war that ended civilization was over religions based in the Bible.

One of my favorite movies. An quite a moral message.

Just a darn great & wonderful video. I was spellbound with this story. Faith prevaled!

But Solara becomes the apostle to return to the world to save it.

Love the fact, that he have to use a handcart or a wheelbarrow to transport this Bible (or a really big backpack and some really bad back pain). A real King James Braille Bible is up to 20 separated books with an total mass of 40 Kilogramm / 90 Pounds. Also nothing in the entire movie show us, that he is blind. He shoot a cat, that haven't done a sound at this time. He was shooked after finding the hanging man in the obended house. He see the battery of his iPod is low. He didn't search for the doorknob, he instantly find it. He looks clearly to the person he spoke to and so on. The "he's-blind"-twist came out of nothing. A blind person will focus his ears to a nearby action, not his eyes (as we see in the scene where the elder couple that was killed by the gang for there books). But aside that, and aside the theological agenda (contradicts by the brutality of the main character), it was a solid, not good movie.

An excellent film with an amazing twist ending.

"While he waits. . ." Yep, Tom.

The ugly little town that this is filmed in. It's called Carrizozo New Mexico. And the deal was for them to film it there and all of the townspeople played the townspeople and the deal was you Do NOT speak to Mr Washington unless Mr Washington speaks to you first. I don't remember exactly how long it took them to rebuild like the main Street into that ugly little town.

Eli was almost certainly blinded by the flash of a nuclear blast. He asks Solara's mom, Claudia, if she has been blind her whole life or since The Flash (apparently, a large-scale nuclear attack). If you feel like filling in Eli's backstory using your imagination, he was likely some special forces soldier who became expert with various fighting weapons and techniques during his military training BEFORE he was blinded in the Great War. He then perfected his sightless fighting skills while surviving his long perilous journey through the hijacker-filled wastelands. As for divine intervention, I would think that any person who committed the entire King James Bible to memory during a decades-long pilgrimage through some of the most hostile territory while battling the constant scourges of hunger, thirst, fatigue, disease, loneliness and vicious hijackers is likely someone who is drawing inspiration from a so-called "higher power"...I try not to confuse myself with complex things I cannot know with certainty, so I tend to keep things simple: I dunno about "divine intervention" but dude sure looks like someone on a mission from god.
