This hard hitting release for fans of post-apocalyptic movies offers a double feature of two action packed films that take place in a dystopic, sci-fi future, including I Am Legend and The Book of Eli.

I always enjoy movies with Will Smith or Denzel Washington. Both movies present a bleak, post apocalyptic atmosphere and both main characters are trying to save the world. Enjoyable if your expectations aren't too high.

Ads show Brad Pitt as a WWII German officer hunter in an exciting action flick. The reality is the movie is a long drawn out, boring drama with an occasional action sequence. There is a ton of french dialog with subtitles that don't matter and you don't care about. I finally turned the thing off, because I didn't care about most of the characters and was just hoping Brad Pitt would come in and wipe them out. I will say, the actor that played Hitler was great!

The world is at stake and the authorities don't know what's what so it's up to Cruise's character to save the world. But, maybe Cruise might simply be insane. Cruise's character, like a lot of action characters in movies, has physical abilities that are a bit unreal. Diaz' character is pulled into the plot but she doesn't know who to believe or who is good or bad. It's all a bit unbelievable but it's all a lot of fun. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit.
