well... yeah... so at the beginning I was like "ok, I like this, but when will the real movie begin" and then I realized this IS the real movie and was like "woah". WHAT. A. MOVIE. Sure, it borders on experimental cinema but whetever I've seen my share of weird cinematic experiments, I can watch it. And I did. And it was AWESOME. Unknown American filmmakers, I salute you. I don't know what you were trying to accomplish here but you've created a masterpiece of independent ciema. I don't know, maybe you're just some undeground explorers who brought a camera along, or maybe you're some cinema-art students who had this idea, whatever, YOU'VE MAYDE IT. If I was a judge at some sort of a independent movie convention I would not only give this 10 out of 10 but I would nominate this for an Oscar or something. I pay my respects and I know probably you'll never make it, you'll remain in the "undergound" forever but know this: this one guy though your movie was a masterpiece.

A nonsense movie and a complete waste of your time. WARNING: CONTAINS Spoiler: (Don't read if you want to watch it.) It started out to be interesting as three friends explore underground secret chamber that is off to public because it was said to be a torture chamber. It's a psychological thriller,so I'll just spoil it for everyone so you guys don't waste your time watching this shaky hand cam held movie.To make the long story short- it's about a man who becomes paranoid and delusional dealing with the death of his daughter. His life flashbacks in televisions inside the train he boarded. His flashbacks were mixed of the real events that happened to his life and what he could have done instead. The movie is all about him being delusional trying to cope up with his regrets by altering his mind on what had happened. How they shot the film is too shaky. My eyes hurt. Plus,there's too many flashbacks that you don't know what is happening anymore. You are not gonna get it until the movie is ending and only to find out it's about the main character's delusion and nothing else.

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).

For a very amateur attempt at a movie, it actually started out well. i read the plot of the movie and it sounded entertaining. But, much like communism that built the underground in moscow, this plot only works on paper. half way through it turns into the wall by pink floyd, and then back again. even the technical aspects of it are extremely cheesy...don't get me started on the "military" guys wearing only gas masks in a "nuclear environment", etc etc etc...but i think it was just the guys imagination, but no one really knows...i guess I'm one of those morons who didn't "get it"...but then again, i don't think there's anything to "get"...oh, the sound track was good and fitting...i'd rather watch a program on how escalators are made.-bob
