Aftermath

I'm going to agree with the sci-fi hallmark movie assessment from the one of the other reviewers, but people calling this an ode to art need to up their standards. This movie starts off with a ton of potential and the movie has a very mysterious and sinister vibe. The story is non-existent I genuinely have no idea wtf happened. I like slow burns and psychological thriller movies but this is like a 10 year Olds horror story got tuned up by some ghostwriters and put in the hands of directors going through a divorce with one another. Solid acting, moody atmosphere and was free on Tubi. Was gonna give 3 stars but the actors honestly saved the film and I hope they get more gigs.

I have to say, it is a low budget, indi sci-fi, so if you are looking for a cinematic experience that will blow you away with special effects, will not happen. You definitely can not compare it with a Hollywood studio production. I think it is a decent film, with interesting elements and low pacing. I've found the story to be a bit too predictable for the most part but towards the end there is an unexpected twist. Overall it reminded me of a Black mirror episode because of the mood. The entertaining part is the human element, but truth be told, that could have been highlighted even a bit more in my opinion.

Obviously the first few reviews, with high scores, are from people who worked on that movie, or know people that did. They must have been. I can't see any other explanation. Coz to say it has good acting is the biggest joke I have ever seen. This is why you should always look at how many people rated a movie. If it's less than a thousand - it will be mostly shills, who are just trying to bump their own work. I'm all for low budget, fan movies, but this was diabolical. Horrendous acting, boring forcefully prolonged scenes and plot more predictable than Peppa Pig. It was only 1hr15mins, but it felt like 4hrs... Don't waste your time.

The film offers a contemplative look at the aftermath of a tragedy and the journey towards redemption. Gallai's storytelling is complemented by solid cinematography and a fitting soundtrack, enhancing the overall mood and atmosphere of the film. While the pacing may feel slow at times, it allows for a deeper exploration of the characters. The standout aspect of "Aftermath" lies in its performances, particularly that of Fruzsina Nagy. Nagy's portrayal of Kate brings depth and authenticity to the role, capturing the character's inner turmoil with subtlety. Her chemistry with the ensemble cast adds layers of authenticity to the relationships depicted on screen. While it may not be the most enthusiastic film, its engaging narrative and strong performances make interesting.

Okay, so there's this movie, "Inception". It's really good. So, now there's this movie, with similar ideas but conceived as an homage to Hallmark Romances. It's not good at all. I'd offer spoilers beyond that, but really, just watch, I don't know, literally anything else. This one won't prove to be a worthwhile investment of time or money. Here's the anecdote form: A woman drives. Then she wakes in a forest. And is shot. Twice. Then she meets a man. Who gets shot. Once. Then she runs into the people who shot her. She shoots them. Then she "returns" to the "real" world only it's not the "real" world at all and blah blah blah, it's so formulaic and predictable you can easily fill in all the blanks.

Not much needs said other than this movie was awesome! Great storytelling can be accomplished without expensive special effects which most often simply distract from bad storytelling anyway. I must admit struggling a bit in the beginning of the movie but as the story progessed, it became much more compelling. The manner in which it was all tied up in a nice neat little bow at the end made the entire movie worth much more than the small amount of time I spent watching. I would be very interested in more storytelling from these same producers and executive producers. Saddle up and watch this movie - you will not be disappointed!

Is absolutely terrible 1980 style Movie making unbelievable scenes terrible action scenes. Terrible acting storyline silly. .. I'm old enough to remember when special effects were so bad that fight scenes talk seconds for some to take a shot because they had to show it on the camera. But that technique isn't needed anymore. But here it's like looking at a bad Western B movie from the 70s . And what is with the drak gray in movies now again its from the 80s . I apologise to the young actress in this movie trying to get up the ladder in their professional life. But hopefully they will get something better soon.

...your film is generally searching for some name recognition at a rock bottom prices to bolster what little it offers. I don't believe I'd be accused of delivering a spoiler by saying that the plot of this film is unlikely to offer much of a puzzle to discerning viewers who have likely seen all of this before. None of the relationships between the characters feel at all real and the shaggy dog plotting doesn't really engage the viewer. On the other hand, it is one of those films that offers a decent background experience if you have some work to do and can't afford to keep turning to the screen.
