I went to see The Book of Eli knowing only that it was a post-apocalyptic story starring Denzel Washington. I was surprised frequently throughout the movie, but I don't think having had a certain knowledge about the film prior to going to see it would have changed this. TBOE was full of surprises and twists that I will not reveal here, and even though it was slow-paced and somewhat monotonous, I was never bored. (Right at the end it did seem to drag on for a little too long, though.)
Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman were both great, which shouldn't surprise anyone seeing as these two actors are immensely talented. Mila Kunis also did a very good job, even though her character wasn't as flashy or fully fleshed as her counterparts' were.
The aesthetics of the film were also very cool, and everything was gray and ashy and bleached and drained of color. (Except for the clouds, which were tinged with an eerie green hue.) The camera work was also interesting, especially in the action scenes, when the camera would weave in and out of holes in the wall and some other similarly fancy moves.
All in all, I enjoyed TBOE, and if you're in the mood for a post-apocalyptic story that looks like it came straight out of Fallout 3, then you won't be disappointed.
