This was a beautiful day, and I was wandering what should i watch , so I was caught by this one, The Book of Eli (2010). Fairly new work. So as i started viewing it my eyes popped out of my head, as the opening scene is as great as heaven (in post apocalypse).It makes you want nuclear was , just so you could say "mmm... nuclear winter looks so cool" . I mean really, the green forest , the black snow, the slow-motion the gear and everything was so heavenly great that , if the whole movie was like that i would have puked rainbows of joy and spit stars of happiness. Thou , you can't make a whole movie in slow-motion, so i wasn't shocked , when things took a different turn. But not for the worst. Actually they still kept a great balance in colors (not as great as the forest , but hey.) , a balance of sand , gray and metal graphics are perfect for this movie. Also, they kept a great fell of destruction in it, and that's good.
Even when it looks great as a picture itself , there are some twitches in the script and characteristics. Again as there are Hollywood heroes, Eli is just one of them. How the hell does he slice those men so easily ? Why can't anyone shoot him from a bigger distance, when he goes Rembo on everyone with a pistol ( yeah , a short range weapon) ? A little bit to much there. Actually , talking about the script, it looks somewhat like The Road (i did that recently ), but more of an action, than psychology . All thou it is a Hollywood cookie, all thou it ends too good ( not enough deaths if you ask me ) , all thou some parts are questionable, it is still a good time spender.
Look ! You know you love that green feel on this one .
didn't really like the ending... kidn of made the whole movie shitty
ReplyDeleteMy friends loved the boo of eli !

ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it was based on the Fallout games. I was so disappointed when I realized it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to see this one, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for this!
ReplyDeletenever watched that movie but all my friends say, that i really have to. after your post, ive decided to get it at amazon :)
ReplyDeleteI like post-apocalyptic movies. But this one wasn't so good :/
ReplyDeleteWhat's more, Denzel Washington isn't exactly my favourite actor.
Man, when did green lighting get to be such a thing... I blame the Matrix movies. Cool, yes, but it'll make you nauseous if you stare at it for more than like 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI watched this movie alone last week at home, and I can honestly say that Denzel Washington THROWS DOWN! This movie was a treat to watch and i'd have to rank it top 3 for me. Nice Post Buddy
