I think they would have similar or exact elements that the Book of Eli had at least with showing the depravity of man and the extent what man goes to to survive, get what they want, struggle for power etc. Those are very simple and superficial themes but important none the less. Also, the Book of Eli resembled the game Fallout 3 with at least atmosphere and also the games S.T.A.L.K.E.R at least as far as atmosphere goes with a very barren and desolate place and even where you find life and "safety" there is still death and darkness surrounding you...no where truely feels safe. Also Fallout 3 is filled with reminscents of old sci-fi movies and its awesome!

What a glorious thing it is when God's Gospel is proclaimed missionally through Hollywood. We need more of that! It was absolutely wonderful and inspiring to see this movie.

It was inspiring, convicting, beautiful, action packed, intelligent, and very well produced. Thank you Jesus. God can use even non-christian hollywood to get His gospel out. i just finished watching this movie. It was inspiring, convicting, beautiful, action packed, intelligent, and very well produced.

Perhaps more hope, patience and persistence will be of lasting value than something that only shows up in a Christian stores feel-good pablum section! Take those two pennies and put them over the eyes of those corny "Christian" films, let them rest and encourage others to be missional that have artistic prowess and aspiration like yours. I'm glad Eli gave you hope in a very unique way. Rare indeed, Alex!
