Book of Eli - Different look and feel

The Book of Eli is a great movie to watch.. watch it especially to see Denzel Washington's portrayal of Eli who has survived the apocalypse of the world. The story starts with him hunting a cat for meat and then walking into a home in the middle of nowhere where he rests for the night, he uses a old battery to charge his Ipod, he seems to be on a mission and he sharpens his knife and also looks for nice pair of shoes that he picks from the bodies of other dead people. The story moves on to a old town like atmosphere where a mob lord Carnegie played by Gary Oldman is running the town by power, he has his entourage of mobsters.. he has a blind wife and a daughter played by Mila Kunis. The story has some twists and turns and its then established that Carnegie is looking for a book that would help him rule the world and after some searching it is found that Eli is protecting that book and his only aim to travel west where he would be able to deliver the book to the right owners.. The story at the end reveals what is the book the Eli is protecting more than his life and what happens at the end.

The only issue that I have with this movie is that fact that we do not know how the end of the world happened and how some people alone survived, a small mention of the fact that we were in post apocalypse world would have helped.

Mila Kunis is refreshingly better looking and appealing in this movie, Denzel and Gary again prove that they part of a very special league of actors in Hollywood.. Watch it for all the action sequences, Denzel claims he did all the stunts on his own.. and if what he said is true, the action sequences are really good. Gives you feeling of watching Kill Bill in a different flavor. But its entertaining.

Book of Eli actually has a nice message telling us that we have time to protect our planet else we would end up fighting for small things in life like water, food, clothing etc.. It also shows the power of human will and what it can accomplish.
