The After (2014)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

hyped garbage

Great Film overall

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Stylewise this is not your usual Chris Carter fare. This is a very modern looking story, it looks like Chris has not lost his knack for creating TV shows that fit right into the times.The millennium has come and gone. Or has it? This story is a typical day in a woman's life, that turns strange in one second.In this pilot one of the characters makes a conjecture about what the end times really will be like. Have we really read the book of Revelation and considered what it really says in there?Because if we really have read it, then we really should be scared. But should we be scared about supernatural entities, aliens and other Chris Carter phenomena, or should we be scared of each other?In this bloodcurdling pilot, it shows that we should be worried about both. Some people think evil comes from the devil himself, other people think that evil comes from man. Maybe both statements are true and maybe both are false."The after" explores this question and keeps us asking more questions until the very last scene. Interestingly, the show was created by Amazon.com which I've never heard of creating entertainment like this, I don't know if this is a web-only show or if this is going to be shown on any channels. But, I like it and I really want to see more.One thing to look for is imagery from Chris Carter's show "millennium".

Starts well but soon deteriorates into pretty nonsensical stuff. The lead actress, Gigi(Louise Monot/French girl) is very wooden and Andrew Howard's foulmouthed supposedly Dublin accent borders on the pantomime. The plot is also badly written, none of the eight give any real consideration to security even having already been told the police have lost control of events and then having been attacked by a mob they still behave like they were on their hols. The coup de grace however is despite being chased by gun toting murderers the Gigi's main concern is that she needs to return to the house to get her phone, a phone that's dead, no power, in a situation where there is no power and no possibility of charging the phone, really silly, and this panic over the phone is forgotten as quickly as way thought up. Then at the end D.Love blasts the demon with the shotgun, good move, but when the demon is coming back to life and preparing to do the funniest runner I've seen in a long time D.Love does not blast him a few more times in the head even though he has the shotgun pointed at him. I will in all likelihood base my final decision on whether to watch any more of this on the next few episodes if they are ever made and if they develop the plot in a more convincing fashion but for now it's a thumbs down.

Without going into too much detail, I just cannot see the point in this Pilot, nothing anyone did made any sense, like the following: Why would you choose to go to a strangers house with other total strangers just because you had just been stuck in a lift for 5 minutes with them ? Why would an escaped convict come back to rescue some people including a police officer who he had met 2 minutes earlier and threatened with a gun when the city was swarming with police and other rescue personal ? Why does everyone swear so much, every sentence contained "fucking", the Irish character only knows this word, but hey nobody seems really bothered, there seems to be something else going on (a few booming noises and a lot of people hanging around in the streets, swearing) but everything appears to be normal, but just in case its not lets stick together with an escaped convict and a dodgy looking Irish gob shite ! Just to keep us interested in the end we have a weird guy painted blue with snazzy eyes and little horns appear and attempt to caress our heroine, he however gets knocked down and decides it will be quicker to get away by crawling on his back ! Does it make much sense ? Well it didn't to me !

Watched the pilot and came here straight because i wanted to talk about this show that's how good it is.The show starts with something normal and then things start to happen and believe me when i say the things that happen increase the level of your curiosity. There are moments where you are just dying to see what happens next and then something happens that is totally worth it.I don't see why this won't air, i know for a fact there are a lot of people who like this genre.This show is a my dream show, i cannot wait for it to air. I am confident it will air.
