Aftermath (2014)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

best movie i've ever seen.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This movie makes "the attack of the killer tomatoes" seem like an Oscar winning movie anyone saying this is comparable to "the road" or that this is not a bad movie (because i've read the reviews here) is delusional. i've never written a review but for this movie i had too.the cinematography was good,as well as the make up. but within the opening 5 minutes you knew this was low budget but getting past the opening scene where "hunter" (C.J. Thomason) is standing there listening to the radio broadcast about the impending war you just know this is going to be cheese. for a little while it seems watchable but around the 29:33 mark where Jonathan (Ross Britz) who plays a "nerd" (think the love child of screech from saved by the bell and Forrest Gump) when you blurt out a guffaw at the incredibly bad acting (facial expression and crossing of the eyes from a scene i would assume is supposed to be touching) as he care's to his "gran-unc" you know this movie is irredeemable....but i made it past that part. some other drama happens and well i quit at the 1:01:50 mark....i cite stupidity for my reason for quitting watching this tripe it's not worth watching....i don't even want to know how it endsEastlake Films,and LightWave Entertainment owe me $10. not for the purchase price of watching this, but for wasting an hour of my time,because making it a hour into this movie was work....and if i was watching movies and reviewing them for minimum wage thats what the cost would be....so give me my $10

OK, so here goes, my first review. I could have chosen a thousand better movies to review, so why this one? Well, as an apocalyptic movie goes, this is the second most depressing film about nuclear war that I have ever seen. The first being an animated film (yes I know how that sounds!), When the wind blows by Raymond Briggs (the guy who wrote The Snowman), It's one of the saddest films I have ever seen. Anyhoo back to The Aftermath, some scenes are pretty far fetched. There is no real explanation as to why events take place. The characters are not fully developed and a ton of other minor foibles, but that being said, this is a film that makes you think, what would you do?. Would you try and battle through?, would you resign yourself to the inevitable? or would you curl up and die? Pretty depressing stuff all in all, but in this climate, in which we are destroying ourselves by the minute, it is an all too realistic scenario. Unfortunately.

It seems like whenever Edward Furlong needs to pay child support, we end up with about three of these stinkers per year. Is it really all that bad? Pretty much.'Aftermath' is about a group of strangers (original) locked up together inside of a basement during a nuclear apocalypse. It's supposed to be a realistic view on how we would act during such a tragic event. Why this needs a 90 minute runtime is beyond me, because the character development still ends up being awful, even though the entire film is based around that factor. When the action finally does set it, it ends up being entirely unnecessary. Why not just end the film the way you began it? Did we really need a group of zombie hillbillies that have no clue what the hell they're doing? The film wouldn't have been any worse.Random Ramblings Of A Madman: Looking at Monica Keena for 92 minutes will never be thought of as a negative, and she makes the time fly by, but your film's success should never be based around that factor alone. As for Eddie Furlong - Those 'T2' paychecks no longer cover life's responsibilities, so unless his local dealer decides to have a clearance sale, we should be seeing more Furlong 'greats' in the near future.

The overall story line of this movie was a good idea but the script, acting, and unrealistic events made it almost unbearable to watch.To start with the script contained too much information at the beginning and continued slightly throughout the movie. It wasn't as bad as telling you every action the character was going to do but pretty close.The acting was sub par but that is to be expected when using lower grade actors. The unrealistic events are numerous. From raiding a grocery store and nobody else being there, to groups of people attacking this specific house away from town for no apparent reason and fully knowing that the people within are armed. The attackers make no demands, they are all in zombie like states of mind until someone in the house recognizes them as a friend. One of the characters is shot in the beginning while trying to find shelter in a home and then later removes the bullet from his shoulder even though you see an exit wound.
