*SPOILER*I am an atheist who enjoyed the movie a lot. I do not think it is necessary to believe in the Bible to follow Eli's story. In fact, I think the general, Alcatraz mission of preserving old culture would be mine in the hypothetical apocalypse situation. You could probably replace the Bible with The Prince, a mechanic's guide, Confucius, cultural proverbs, etc. which some people hold dear(wrongly or rightly) in a way and others want to use it to gain power/belief.

Could the commercial about "tweeting" a cartoon of yourself have a less annoying robot-voice? Please!

Pretty much, y'all thought the movie was great, until they started talking about God, and then the movie plummeted. That doesn't sound biased at all. Though I am a Christian, I don't look at it from a Christian POV. Sure it had recurring Christian themes, but that's what the movie was. Do you go to Transformers only to hate the presents of robots beating each other to parts? Obviously not. Why is it so unbelievable that God, being the Almighty, cannot work through Eli to do the things he can do?

@eastfmp well you're taste in movies simply blows.

I can't stand the huge amounts of bullshit in the video, or the comments. It's fiction, dammit. In the movie, God tasked him to take the book west, and guided him. It dosen't matter if you don't believe in the bible. I just can't believe how short-sited people are!

I watched the movie with a friend. About 30 minutes into the movie he asked me if we really want to watch it. I said yea, now that we have watch it so far already... how much worse can it go. It went worse and worse. And the ending was as terrible as hell. To me, its the worst movie I can remember.

@schroyerta Socialist doesn't have anything to do with hating the bible. You don't make any sense with your comment.

[schroyerta]

As much as I can't stand these tow Liberal Scums that do nothing but promote hate towards anyone that has a Conservative bone in them and then say that Muslims show nothing but peace and the karna is the book of peace (they or it lies wonder which on it is). I have to agree with them on this one, it was a GREAT movie. Then they started to talk about the BIBLE and GOD how its wrong and he doesn't exist, and they lost me again and I realized why I don't like socialist.

This movie was entertaining. That's it. The road on the other hand is a great movie which makes you think

[vinson1445]

@Evidentz07 It could have been "any" book that gave him the "faith" to overcome his blindness and kill everyone who got in his way? Oh, and your "friend" liking this movie makes it good because he's an Athiest? My friend is Irish and he thought this movie was bullshit. See, I can do that too.

[AbtinX]

@Evidentz07 I totally agree, the fact that it was a religious scripture just made the film cooler. The mad max in thunderdome prophet sent to give the world hope to restore itself. Fallout baby!

This movie was great. Eli knew how to fight for his religion and it was almost non-stop action. My favorite scene in the movie had to be that scene where that bitch kept asking if she could come along and Eli kept saying no. Why is that scene so great? Because in most movies, if a woman asks if she could come along, the main character always says yes, but not Eli.Yes she does eventually comes along, but Eli locks her in some secret room in a cave first. I laughed so hard at that part.
