junktodelete-155-36017 I probably should of rated this movie an 8 instead of a seven but it wasn't an "A" movie ("A" movies start at an 8 rating for me or else they're not "A" movies... ) If you, as well as I, love: B-movies, independent films, low-budget movies, documentaries/docu-dramas and of course the "post-apocalyptic" genre then you will like this movie. It has a reality TV feel to it and is along the lines of the made for TV movie "The Day After" but with a smaller cast and budget etc.I've been watching the "Doomsday Prepper" shows on TV for the past season or so and know much about the survival situation that is to come after the bombs drop, esp now with us letting Iran get nukes and ICBM missiles to deliver them, in the next 5-10 years (as of 7-14-2015) and only a fool or extreme optimist can't see this coming. Well this movie has one leader who sort of knows some of the the things needed to survive at least the initial onslaught...By watching this movie I've learned that I'm not as prepared as I thought I was. I learned various things about not only vulnerabilities to exposure but how essential medical supplies and training are.This movie should be a wake up call for civilians to learn about how to survive large scale disasters. It's more a "warn-a-mentary" than an entertainment pill.

Hexen Mørder This movie makes "the attack of the killer tomatoes" seem like an Oscar winning movie anyone saying this is comparable to "the road" or that this is not a bad movie (because i've read the reviews here) is delusional. i've never written a review but for this movie i had too.the cinematography was good,as well as the make up. but within the opening 5 minutes you knew this was low budget but getting past the opening scene where "hunter" (C.J. Thomason) is standing there listening to the radio broadcast about the impending war you just know this is going to be cheese. for a little while it seems watchable but around the 29:33 mark where Jonathan (Ross Britz) who plays a "nerd" (think the love child of screech from saved by the bell and Forrest Gump) when you blurt out a guffaw at the incredibly bad acting (facial expression and crossing of the eyes from a scene i would assume is supposed to be touching) as he care's to his "gran-unc" you know this movie is irredeemable....but i made it past that part. some other drama happens and well i quit at the 1:01:50 mark....i cite stupidity for my reason for quitting watching this tripe it's not worth watching....i don't even want to know how it endsEastlake Films,and LightWave Entertainment owe me $10. not for the purchase price of watching this, but for wasting an hour of my time,because making it a hour into this movie was work....and if i was watching movies and reviewing them for minimum wage thats what the cost would be....so give me my $10

Angela Chatha OK, so here goes, my first review. I could have chosen a thousand better movies to review, so why this one? Well, as an apocalyptic movie goes, this is the second most depressing film about nuclear war that I have ever seen. The first being an animated film (yes I know how that sounds!), When the wind blows by Raymond Briggs (the guy who wrote The Snowman), It's one of the saddest films I have ever seen. Anyhoo back to The Aftermath, some scenes are pretty far fetched. There is no real explanation as to why events take place. The characters are not fully developed and a ton of other minor foibles, but that being said, this is a film that makes you think, what would you do?. Would you try and battle through?, would you resign yourself to the inevitable? or would you curl up and die? Pretty depressing stuff all in all, but in this climate, in which we are destroying ourselves by the minute, it is an all too realistic scenario. Unfortunately.

Saiph90 Actually no, I had a particular busy week and as I work Saturdays I enjoy a glass of wine and a movie on a Saturday night. This was one of the most pointless films I have endured, I can sum the film up quickly, nuclear attack on America, a group of strangers dying of radiation poison in a basement. So why score the film 1? we just have no empathy with the characters, we simply have no background and the whole film is a depressing mess, why not have some background on the characters? we simply go from start to nuclear attack to basement to death. There are huge holes in the plot which I can not be bothered to list. There are people giving this 10, do not be fooled they must have a vested interest in the movie.
