Yeah it was pretty incredible, it makes some sense too when you watch/remember certain encounters during the movie and how he reacts in them. I was high too and it made total sense for me lol....the secret to the movie I guess.

But after watching this I want to learn how to use a Bow n Arrow

lol its crazy how the people who watched it sober thought the action sequences were awesome but couldnt follow the story, but the stoners could follow the story AND the action scenes were sick.

and lol man bows are so fun but one time i accidentally shot my neighbors garage so im not allowed to shoot at home anymore.

it was like a movie way better than road warrior and that other one based on a book combined times 2 divided by 3 then multiplied by 4.

You might be right their...the storyline is pretty slim (ie. Eli is on a quest to find a place for this book). I just love post apocolyptic themes though, so that got me really excited for it. But this isnt one of those movies where its non stop action with blood and gore in every scene. Plus, the ending was really good...

I heard the book in question is the Bible, which totally put me off this movie. The Bible is the only thing that can save the world...ooook.

its after a holy war and eli who is blind was told by god to deliver this book, the bible has so many lessons it could be used to rebuild society.

every single copy other than Eli's was burned after the war.




fuckin excellent movie
