@ James Heaver:

Wow… :O Just for the record, I am not a fan of scientology. I guess Google adwords picked up on words like “religion” and somehow got that ad on here.

truly ironic advert. double-ironic shots of some guy’s johnson off to the right of your twitpic page. priceless.

Just wanted to share the advert that I was served on this post.

notwithstanding my own love for the bible, i was pleased with the twist in the end, which makes the movie for me. ** spoiler warning **

did you guys not get it that eli was blind through the entire movie?

@ MrPete:

My personal favorite worst scene in the movie was when Mila Kunis makes her mother say grace before eating after seeing Eli do it once. I was like WTF? Why would she just ape some weird ritual of some quirky old guy?

To make it short:
You’re right. This would’ve been much better with less Bible and more story.
There’s some holes in the plot and despite some nice pictures I left the cinema (see, I even invested money to see it on the big screen) with a “well… could’ve been much better”-feeling.
