Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
gkhege I have watched this movie six times and found it to get better with age. It's one of the few movies in my long life, which every actor, regardless of their status, turned in a good performance. The plot is simple, a man is on a mission and people are trying to stop him. It, as it should, allows the viewer to determine the effectiveness of it all and walk away with their own opinion, which can never be wrong!
kajvanzanten To me it was just another action movie if the story about the book was not involved. However the action looks great in a apocalypse and western scene. I think the story about the book makes it a great movie in combination with all the action. Its a great movie to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Smoreni Zmaj Some people say that this movie reminds them on Mad Max franchise...To me, it's more like King's The Dark Tower...But either way, it is really great post-apocalyptic movie and more than just that.9/10
SeaBassEon The story of a man in a post-apocalyptic world who risk his life to save the last bible in order to start another 2,000 years of warfare, discrimination, ignorance and division. I liked the Fallout style atmosphere. Because if there is one thing this movie has it's style. The nuclear post-apocalyptic ambiance is brilliantly achieved with its own fashion. The yellowish filter works but ultimately gets frustrating for some reason. None of the acting impressed me, in fact I had the feeling that I had seen those same actors playing the same characters in other movies. It's a collage of past performances. Whether you believe or not might influence your feelings about this movie. But if you put aside this specific aspect of the story you're objectively left with a pretty container but no content. There could have been much more developments with the story and more explanations about the background of the neo society (or absence of). Special mention to the hands verification that they perform to know if they can trust someone. It takes some time to figure out why they do it but it's subtle and gives an uneasy feeling. A search on the Web confirms the science behind it. Having said that, it's a movie that entertained me well enough to remember it for years to come (no small feat for me as I usually forget about movies which didn't have an emotional impact).
