    Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
    SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
    Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
    Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
    XweAponX 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".
    kayceebrown92 This was a great show that really has you asking a lot of questions and keeps you at the edge of your seat. Mainly my interest in this was based on Aldis Hodge, but the other actors were really great and the story is just so refreshing. Not like anything on TV right now (tho a little like xfiles). I enjoyed this and the visual effects in the last scene are extremely intriguing. Can't wait to see this picked up and see the rest of the story.The characters are convincing, if not all likable, and the correlation between them is very strange and a concept I personally haven't seen in any other show. It does seem to be of a drama sci-fi show, which usually kinda equals lame Whedon rip off, but this has some serious potential. The only real concern is the very specific demographic this show seems to cater to, seems like a show that will lead down a path the general public won't be interested in.
    rorrr It was absolutely painful to watch the pilot. It's filmed so badly, they never actually show anything. All the scenes are framed so narrowly, you can't tell what's going on around. Even when they show the huge crowd from the above, you can't see what's actually going on. It's just a crowd with a bunch of people running back and forth. No explosions, no collapsed buildings, no fire.The explanation is quite simple - the production is so cheap, the most they could afford is to make the actors look afraid, but never show what they are afraid of.Yeah, there was a small CGI scene at the very end of the pilot, must have lasted less than 20 seconds. Cheap thrills, not impressive.The actors were not impressive either. I can't say that I really liked any of them, which in itself tells me a lot. I don't remember the last TV show where I didn't like at least one actor.
    Avik Bara 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.
