Movie#38 The Book of Eli

The world is in the aftermath of a major war and asteroid strike. Cities have been wiped out, with whoever left are fighting for scraps and bartering for survival. A valuable book has been lost to the world and it is needed to bring back civility. A lone man is in possession of the last copy and he is following his inner calling to head westward. With no clue of what is lying in wait for him at his final destination, he is guided by his faith. He befriends a girl from a town, he visits on his way. The town's self proclaimed lord knows about the power this book holds and want to take it from the traveler.
Shot in sepia frames, the movie stars Denzel Washington and Mila Kunis. It is something which would not appeal to the taste of everyone. My friend who watched this suggested to me to skip it but I went for it anyway. The setting is a dry landscape in which water is the most precious commodity. There are certain indigestible facts about the story. One of which is the distance covered DW and MK on foot in a day. The chasers need to travel a lot in their vehicles to catch up with them. I don't think one can travel such quickly in such a harsh environment. Else it is a satisfactorily taken film
My personal rating is 2.5 out of 5
