Lombardi Learns Why Only Eli Could Be Trusted To Carry The Book
After securing the book — which is revealed to be an intact copy of the Bible — at the end of The Book of Eli, the evil Bill Carnegie (Gary Oldman) returns to his town and enlists the help of the Engineer (Tom Waits) to break the lock that holds it closed. Meanwhile, Eli and Solara (Mila Kunis) arrive in the remains of San Francisco, and row out to Alcatraz Island where they are greeted by Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell)and his people who are working to preserve the sum of human knowledge that ca...
Eli's Blindness Completely Repositions The Book Of Eli
Though The Book of Eli gives very little indication that Eli can not see, it nevertheless pulls a shocking twist by revealing that he is blind. One of the things that make The Book of Eli an underrated 2010s sci-fi movie is that it continues to push its concept further and further, and Eli's blindness isn't just a meaningless twist. Brilliantly revealed in the scene where Carnegie discovers the Bible is in braille, the twist ending comes about slowly as opposed to being a moment that overemph...
The Book Of Eli Ending Wouldn't Be Impactful If Eli Survived
Action movies where the main character dies are rare, but The Book of Eli's ending is made better because Eli doesn't survive. Instead of giving him an all-guns-blazing finale that would have tipped the movie into sillier territory, Eli's morose and subtle death is appropriate for a character who isn't an action hero by choice. Eli's death at the end of The Book of Eliis almost a necessity because it reflects elements of the Bible and the many other figures who also met their end in pursuit o...
The 2010 Sci-Fi Preached The Power And Dangers Of Knowledge
Despite not being a critical success, The Book of Eli is anything but a disposable blockbuster with no substance. Nearly every aspect of the story serves some larger purpose in the grand scheme of things, and the plot is rich with meaning. The Book of Eli makes it clear in the end that Christianity isn't the sole specific message that is to be taken away from the story, because the newly printed Bible takes its place among other holy books. Instead, The Book of Eliis ultimately about the powe...

So even though The Book of Eli starts off so positively, it ends rather predictably (that’s even after the absurd surprise ending). Nonetheless, it is a good start by first time writer Gary Whitta. For everyone else, not so much.
