This is a hard one spoiler wise, because it's based on a true story
so you can really just google it, and find out what happened. Don't do that!
You see, I, got the movie spoiled by a GOD DAMN article, that I would just want to BAM *angry*
I hate spoilers. Just kidding. No, I am not, I really do.
Arnold Schwarzeneggers character looses his family in a plain crash, when the movies other main character
who is an air traffic controller
is alone at his job, for a little while
the movie is about what happens after that, mostly
hence the name: Aftermath. It has nothing to do with Dr. Dre and Eminem
air traffic controllers, are those who sits in the controll towers at airport and make sure plains dont crash
when they can land, take off, all that stuff
so it's a job with a lot of responsibility
Aftermath is a pretty heavy movie, it's not a feel good movie
and it's not a typical Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, far from it
and it kind of made an impression on me, more than I thought it would
which is the reason I wanted to do a review
now, I'm a big Arnold-fan, but it's not like I cant admit that a movie he's in is bad
or that his acting is bad
he is not the worlds greatest actor
but here he does some of his best work, I think
the other main actor, Scott McNairy, is also really good
I wont say that much about Aftermath, really just recommend it, and talk a little about it
The movie is one and a half hour long, perfect langth
shows that you can make a good drama, without it taking 3,5 hours
it's no problem!
just don't drag everything out so damn much
the movie is kind of slow, but because it's short
there are not many very long scenes, that drags it out
it was one scene that was like, okay now, not it's going down hill..
but then it picked back up almost immediately
it you're gonna see it, see it without knowing all that much, becuse you'll get a element of surprise
because if you don't know what is gonna happen, you know..
I kind of knew what was gonna happen, which took away some of that element of surprise and excitement
but still I was really, yeah I got like, well I just liked it a lot
so, score for this one? I must say I was smelling the 9
not quite sure, it's not that long ago since I saw it, I just wanted to get the review out while it was fresh in my head
but 9 is perhaps a little too high.. But the 8 is bankers
it had some small things that I just.. *snap*
Arnold Schwarzenegger.. Impressed with him
He had a very subtle style of acting here, that worked very well
it was none of that: let's male him an action star again-thing
he is an old man, he's 70 years old now
none of that forced; oh look here, he can still be a big star.. oooh
it's a small, calm movie, that I thought worked really well
but of course it has received pretty bad reviews
it had 5,7 on IMDb, and 44 on Metacritic
and it just has to be comformation bias
that everybody is just: oh, Arnold Schwarznegger again, oh my god!
because, I try to be objective and I wouldn't have any problem recommending it to almost anybody
because I liked it a lot! Lets leave it at that
if you wanna see more reviews, you can click in there, and you get it
and you can comment down there
you can write: HUH!? YOU THOUGHT AFTERMATH WAS THAT GOOD!!!?
IT'S THE FU**ING WORST MOVIE I'VE SEEN BLABLABLABLABLA
Or you can just say: Filmfrosk, I wish everyone in the world was like you
ok!
