This was a great movie up until the last ten minutes. Not a fan of the ending, but I'll let you decide. All and all, it's a fun ride, and you catch new things each viewing. Check it out'

Denzel is a great actor, even with this story line that would not be my first pick too watch he did a great job. Interesting plot, worth the watch.

the price was right and so was the sound, quality of the picture is absolutely amazing - which is why I only purchase blu-ray movies.

The movie is just like any other you enjoy or you dont but the price was the seller so a few people in the home can watch and its yours

Apocalytpic book lovers and marauders! A bit longer that it needed to be but all in all a good movie!

The story line is hard to get into...Denzel is Denzel but not one of his best movies

This was not one of Denzel Washington, best movies. Entertaining but that's all.

Love Denzel. Love his movies. This one is not my favorite, but it was an ok flick.

This is good movie with a cool twist and plot. I recommend it!

Decent movie. Not one of his best movies but entertaining.

Not the best Denzel movie but still worth watching

Thought this would be better suited for will smith...Denzil is better suited for other Ypres of roles, like the present equalizer.

This was an great story and Denzel shines as the lone wanderer on a mission. The cinamatography was almost as if I was watching a movie based on the video game Fallout 3. The bleak colors set the stage for a post-apocolyptic world in which Denzel navigate his way through, looking for food and tasked with protecting a very valuable book. I won't give away any plot spoilers, but what the book is, is not the mystery. In fact, it is revealed rather early on, and specifics are few and far between leaving it to the veiwer to fill in the gaps. The mystery is trying to understand why Denzel was given this task and what exactly that task is. Great directing, great acting, and the ending will have you thinking about it for days. I saw this in the theatre and have been looking forward to seeing it again ever since so I could watch it with the knowledge of what is revealed in the end. It makes it a totally different story all together.

Special features strongly impact my feelings about DVDs and Blu-ray disks. The making of featurettes about the Book of Eli were outstanding. The pre-story video about the villain's childhood was a nice touch. I found the movie soundtrack, played through my good ole 5.1 surround sound setup was perfect, as though I was there for every scene. My only negative comment was about the plot. The ending was a disappointment to me. However, the cinematography was fantastic, featuring realistic images of a post-apocalyptic landscape.

This movie instantly became one of my favorites from the first time I watched it. For one thing, its an apocalyptic setting, which I love. Secondly, its Denzel Washington as the good guy, and Gary Oldman as the bad guy. Those two actors are enough to carry a movie, regardless of the supporting cast. Yet, the supporting cast was very good as well. Thirdly, the movie had a great twist, which is noticed at the end. I won't describe, because I don't want to spoil it for you. But, I will say even though I know what the twist is, I still have watched this movie 5+ times since my first viewing. Great movie.

This is a great picture not only the acting or the plot but the way it showed how religion can both corrupt and inspire. Denzel is one of my favorite actors and his performance was brilliant. Also, his adversary Gary Oldman, also one of my favorites, was great as the "bad guy". Most of the cinematography was great, but I'm not a big fan of green screen and there were a couple points where it was too obvious. Lastly, I liked Mila Kunis, not just because she is hot...well, ok only because she was hot!

This is a very original plot for a movie. I have never seen a plot like this and that's what helped to make this movie so wonderful. Denzel as always was amazing, bringing dominance to the screen that no other actor can bring. If you haven't bought this one yet because your not sure if it's Denzel's best, I can assure you that you won't be let down, go out and buy The Book of Eli right now.

The first part of this film is slow and the overall direction appears allusive; however, the ending of this film is trully one of the most jaw dropping conclusions seen that makes the entire wait worth while. I saw this in the theater and will definately be picking it up the Bluray version.

One of the best things I've noticed about bluray movies is the difference in sound. Before bluray, it seemed as though you had to constantly adjust the volume during the movie, but with bluray, you usually set the volume and forget the remote until the movie is over. Not the case with Book of Eli on bluray. The dialogue was whisper quiet accompanied by deafening sound effects. I never had to turn my volume up all the way just to hear the characters speak until I bought this movie. I even double checked to be sure I didn't put the dvd in by accident. Worst sound for a bluray ever. Great movie though, from what I could hear.

This is one of Denzel's best movies and the message in this move is one that we battle everyday. This movie couldn't have been done better. I couldn't imagine the twist that unfolded at the end of the movie nor could i imagine the subtile details of the movie after watching it a second and third time. Amazing movie and if you haven't seen it you need to
