I know it came out a while back, but I just saw it, and I thought the setting was a perfect stand in for Evan.

Too bright sun, mostly desert. Generally very post-apocalyptic. They even had armored vehicles that reminded me tremendously of the kind of armor seen in Evan.

Anyone else see it and agree?

If you throw out all the religious stuff if you're an atheist like me, (no offense meant to religious folks) it's a pretty good movie. I added it to my collection.

Hmm, well, the "religious stuff" is the central theme.

Too a point. It's easy enough to view it as he transporting an important book. Nothing more.

One of the narrative missions that I made has a character in it that I named Carnegie after I was inspired by the main villian from this movie.

BTW upgrayed, I was not offended at all. People get different things out of art.

Dumb, unbelievable and silly.

Oldman is just BRILLIANT when you let him go completely over the top and ham it up like a good 'un B)

Oldman is brilliant in The Professional. Is he really that good in Book of Eli?

I'm not sure he is as good as he was in The Professional (that is an over-the-top awesome performance) but I thought he did a really good job in this.

I really think the movie is worth renting.
