can someone tell me why bother after Mad Max 2 & 3?
I love post-apocalypse films and when a friend started telling me about it i was all ready to see it -- then i saw the trailer and decided to skip it.

saw the book of eli yesterday ,
so far it is the worst apocalyptic representation I've seen so far,
2012 actually had good CGI, but Eli's kungfu combat, mp3 listening bs was too much

went and saw the road today --- against all the low expectation bs i've read here and elsewhere...
fkn loved it!! floored.
Duvall is genius in this. and the sound desing -WOWWW>> wind howling, crackling of the earth and trees creaking all over, just amazing. Also haven't read the book, so was thrown where certain scenes went, what was going to happen next etc. Great great great film... super underrated. Kinda annoyed how it just passed by with little reception or buzz. And even got a bad rap here? wtf...
"I found hard to get my head around, there was no story line as to why the apocalypse happened."
Are people really that simple they need to be spoon fed that kind of exposition?? i like the idea of cinema sparking the imagination and leaving things open to interpretation.
Anyway...

they walked and stopped and rested and made a fire and went to sleep and the man got up in the middle of the night and stoked the fire and ran his hands through the boy's hair and ate a can of peaches and then went to sleep and woke up and saw a dog and saw a man and walked some more.
