brings back nostalgic memories for me


Makes me think back to when I saw this and thought it was descent but didn't know what to make of it. Seen it several times since and I think it's really good.

I like it a lot too. I feel the haters are too nitpicky on it. Like complaining that he shouldn't have been able to defend himself if he is blind.

Well they have discounted the supernatural element. He was on a mission from God after all.

The supernatural is right in front of your nose; it's life. Life was created by God's breath and nothing else can re-create it once it's gone. Only life begats life.

Eli could not do the things he did without it.

Saw this in 2010. It seemed back then there was a lot more hope in the world now we live in time going in the direction of the films events...

descent or decent?

I'd say descent ... a descent into boredom and pointless movie making. ;-)
