I gotta say, I liked Denzel in this movie. As Hollywood continues to turn its star action hero's into blush wearing sissies, I was happy to see a rugged lead character on the Silver Screen for a change. Denzel is usually pretty darn good in everything he is in and this movie is no exception. For him, it was a great role I thought, but everyone else was pretty weak by comparision. I really like post apocalyptic films too. If you like Mad Max, The Road Warrior, The Blood of Hero's then you will like this, BUT I like the Road Warrior and the like better overall. The story wasn't the best to buy into, but here it goes. A giant hole was ripped in the sky and everything on the surface was burnt up as a result. The surviving people blamed the Bible and started destroying all of them. It's a great story line, but not really a great story. It seems to me that the writers don't really want to choose a side, but somehow have something that everyone can except. It's a thin line between who is right and who is wrong and finally you are left wondering was it all really worth it to begin with. I recommend the movie though on the simple premise that Denzel was a great action hero. The movie was realistic and well made. It's a comic book or graphic novel, nothing overly sophisticated, but the kind of brain candy that allows you to escape for a couple of hours one day. That all movies are really supposed to do after all. I rate it a 7.3 out of 10. Go see it!
