I thought it started out a little slow, but I was in suspense wondering why all the killing was going on. Nothing too gorey though.
The last half hour to forty five minutes of it really got interesting. I loved the movie, especially if the Bible is important to you.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

First of all, I'm not a Denzel Washington fan but went anyway because it was my husband's birthday pick. I hadn't seen a trailer, so I had no expectations and not much of an idea of what the movie was about. At the theater, I was just ready for the movie to be over and leave. Walk the scorched Earth, kill filthy people in the name of God, walk some more, kill some more, repeat. Acting was good, but the movie was a waste of time.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Very little plot until last few minutes. Gratuitous violence and abuse of women. I was bored less than 30 minutes into the flick. Just an apocalytic excuse for blowing people away.

There are only about 5-6 fighting action scenes in all the whole movie, far from enough.
And the ads in the movies seem to some degree ridiculous.

Walk a little, kill some folks. Walk a little more, kill some folks. Repeat. Christianity caused a holocaust, blah blah blah. The Bible is just another book in a collection. Thanks Hollywood, for clearing that up for me. Oh, and the M. Knight Shylaman twist, I saw it coming. I love Densil, but I think he missed the jist of this one when he signed on.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

What a rip off! I went to see this movie without reading the reviews first because I've liked his movies in the past. I'll never go to see another Denzel movie again without researching it!
The plot was just silly. The violence was gratuitous. It seemed to me this movie was geared toward people of simple intellect; Perhaps high school drop-outs?
If you like this movie I can only say...LOSER!!!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

It's mind-boggling, reading some of the reviews..."leave the religion part out"??!! It's about FAITH! Anyone's faith, not just one in particular...did anyone notice all the books lined together at the end? This movie was made for EVERYONE, this is the point of the entire story....respect. We all have DIFFERENT needs and understandings....it was an excellent film! Denzel was perfect for the role! The characters portrayed our sad, selfish...ever faithful world. It was perfect...listen to the message.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Denzel's acting was the only reason I paid to see this movie. I like his humble, hind part-kicking character and was only disappointed when he stood there letting himself get shot.They could have left the religion part out. All it does is cause countries to fight,bec someone is going to feel that the movie chose one religion over all the others.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

OK. This movie should get a lesser rating as it is a sort of The Day After/The Bourne Identity mix meets Mad Max. The underlying messages and provocative thought and of course the mesmerizing acting of Denzel Washington save it. Movie critics go too far and give away important themes in movies so I will stop there. Go see it yourself. Many young and middle age soccer moms will be a bit , non-plussed with you for taking them to this movie on date night. This is a serious movie and no lack of action, thrill and drama. It has a couple of odd plot holes. I had no clue Jennifer Beals was in this. When I looked, I was amazed how much she had done since Flashdance in 1983. This movie is a good ride.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was a very very slow movies that did not have the interest of the audience. I lkept saying to myself I seen this movie before (MAD MAX). I like the HUGHES brothers production and DENZEL the best actor of all times. SAD TO SAY THE MOVIE WAS SO INCOMPLETE THEY SHOULD HAVE USED MORE SCENES AND TOLD THE TRUE STORY HOW ELI CAME TO BE AND HIS LIFE TRAVELS, BESIDE WALKING IN THE DESSERT FOR 1 HOUR DOING THE OBVIOUS, HUGHES BROTHER YOU ARE THE BAMMAS OF THE YEAR 2010.

I think Denzel is always great I loved this movie despite the few "just ok" reviews it got. It had my interest from the beginning and kept it till the end. The religious underlying theme made me think well after the movie was done. I loved the action, the bad guys getting their a**es kicked and the ending was awesome.

This was a pretty good post-apocolypse story, with Denzel Washington fighting his way through the evil remnants of civilization. The religion came across as a little heavy to me, with the general idea that with out a bible people are doomed. But good and bad are still generally good and bad.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
