If The Book of Eli hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: faith, chaos
The difference: Reviewed even better

Both keep coming back to the same thing: dystopia

One thread runs through both: dystopia

Kinetic where it counts, tense underneath

The same mix in both: ideas, then bleakness

The same two preoccupations: life after the end, and survival
The difference: Takes it somewhere less tense than The Book of Eli does

Action with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Tense thriller in both cases

Science fiction built on ideas, twice over

Bleak action, and it commits to that

Both lean on momentum more than on thriller

Both are built on the same subject: life after the end
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft
In the mood for more kinetic?
