I saw it. I thought the plot and Denzel Washington badassery were excellent. But I thought the plot was lame and they didn't spend nearly enough time working out the details of their post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland. I found the world they created to be full of holes and illogical.

:skep: Decide, decide!

Anyway, saw it, thought it was good, but it's one of those movies that once you see it, you don't need to see it again.

And do we need to know all the details about the wasteland? That's not the point of the movie, IMO.

fug I meant to say the action was good, not plot. It had the potential to be epic but turned out average. I'm not saying we need to know details, just that the details they include should fit together better.

SPOILERS SPOILERS (minor)

For instance clearly all resources are incredibly scarce and I'm sure a good auto parts store is hard to come by, so why do they take like 6 trucks with 1 or 2 people each to chase eli. Why not pile into 1 or 2 trucks? I mean eli is bartering with fuging cat oil and moist towlettes at one point and these assholes are cruising deep in there tow trucks and suvs like it ain't no thing.

After eli kills those two dudes with bow and arrow, he leaves the arrows in their bodies and walks off. "poo, ill just stop by the arrow store and get some more."

The worst is the ipod though. There are so many reasons why there is no chance in hell he could have a working ipod.

All of those things are minor..I hope you did not let that ruin the movie for you
