    one of the greatest i've ever seen. thank you plex for showing me the rottentomatoes reviews because LOOOOOOOOOL. "biblical UNDERTONES" ... ? undertones? do you even know what that word even means? he's reciting bible passages the entire time! they literally make his character a PROPHET! but even beyond that, you have negative amounts of media literacy if you think this is JUST a religious movie! faith exists beyond religion you sheep!! as someone who is VERY anti-religion, this movie rocks, especially for showing both sides of the coin that is religion and in specific christianity. plex is censoring what i want to say about you pseudo-intellectual wannabe rottentomatoes critics but just know it isn't very nice. please keep dat to yourself from here on, tho. thanks

    📖 Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman performances are so outstanding ; it is hard to tell who did better than who. Mila Kunis is not just an eye candy; but a brave young girl who goes against odds has done good job. Surrealistic visual effects take your breath away. Background score is one of the best in contemporary Hollywood cinema. The Hughes brothers gave such a haunting - not in the sense of fear - post apocalyptic action drama ; I bet it is their masterpiece. Action sequences by Jeff Imada hollywood's top list Stunt coordinator add spice to this brilliantly made movie.

    I didn't find the world that interesting, I don't agree with the message, it was visually unimpressive, overall not great.

    An amazing story, wonderful twist at the end. Glory to God.

    A visually appealing post-apocalyptic world, with a highly original story about the Seeker of the Lost Bible and the Keeper of the Holy Book, featuring an excellent cast. The film is enjoyable to watch, though not one you would necessarily want to see again.

    Very good and interesting movie. A lot of action.
  • cyberbillpNovember 16, 2025
    Very enjoyable, at least the first time through. I like it a lot, because for once, Hollywood came up with something that did not feature either a drunk as a pastor, or a pedofile or an obsolute raving lunatic. For all it's drearyness, it still has a positive, or at least hopeful outlook. (Pay no attention to the usual Hollywood dog pile ratings. Of course they hate it, it's actually good without the typical Gnostic subliminal messaging).

    Christian based post apocalyptic sci fi? Ok then
  • neilsterOctober 14, 2025
    Fantastic, post-apocalyptic parable with outstanding performances from an A-list cast.

    Denzel at his best. You want a post apocalyptic badass story? Look no further.
