Fantastic!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I only recall one review where the kidnapping element was mentioned. The Russian woman in the park was both the suspect and the reason for the whole haunted "trip to Russia" during his parachute-less suicide. And a song with several versions bearing the title "Hellbound Train" pretty well sums up his final ride. Our Judeo-Christian culture has always taught that suicide is the ultimate slap in the face to God, and deserving of eternal punishment. He took his own life, and left his pregnant girlfriend behind and alone to raise his child. He was the lead character, but far from a hero. This is not sci-fi or horror, but almost a morality play with special effects. A weird but nifty combo.

i may have to watch it a few times to get it but ..other than trying to watch it during the dark tunnel scenes.. its pleasing to the eye and the dialog doesn't make me wanna puke and the music is great! I could actually feel dads grief. i am kinda confused about the ending but i am still trying to muddle thru realty and whatever was going on elsewhere.So all in all give this movie a chance.. maybe have a shot of tequila to keep you company and just enjoy the visual effects and the movie and maybe in a dream it will all come together for you. I did watch it on an HD 70 inch LCD so i think that helped a little and i paused it when i was confused.. which was quite a few times.

I don't usually feel like commenting on movie reviews, but I think people are missing the point here. I think that the majority of the movie-the strange happenings in Moscow-never really happen. The story after the initial base jump off the building is what is going through his mind as he falls to his death. He took off the parachute before he jumped. You can see that near the very end of the movie. The final train ride is his realization that he has died. Most of what you are seeing, including the very strange things in the tunnels under the Metro, never happened in reality. There is a lot of regret. I think the last thing he says before he jumps is something on the order of "I can't stand the guilt anymore."I give the movie a high rating for making me watch it several times trying to figure out what is happening.

Erratic camera-work, extreme close-ups, shifting focus, and rapid cuts: when utilised sparingly by a proficient director working in conjunction with a skilled editor, these movie-making techniques can help to effectively convey urgency, panic, and terror; however, in the hands of a less talented film-maker, one who lacks the finesse and experience to make judicious use of such methods, the results can be virtually unwatchable. Such is the case with David L. Cunningham's After.I've seen a lot of bad films in my time, but there are very few that I loathe with such intensity as this virtually unwatchable mess, 76 minutes of migraine inducing garbage during which Cunningham never once uses a tripod, rarely sustains a shot for over a second, dispenses with such trivialities as keeping his picture in focus, and shines as many bright lights directly into the camera lens as humanly possible.If all of that wasn't bad enough, the plot is completely unfathomable for 99% of the running time, after which all becomes clear(ish) with a trite twist ending that didn't even seem all that fresh over two decades ago when Adrian Lyne used it for Jacob's Ladder (a film that After clearly strives to emulate).
