    Not that bad

    This movie was not that bad. True,no awards will be handed out for great acting,but it was an enjoyable watch. I am not the biggest fan of Bautista ,but he did a good job doing what he does. If you're a Samuel Jackson fan, he has a small part in the movie. I like watching Olga kurylenko,this is not her best work, but again it was not that bad of a movie, certainly not a 1 star,2 star or 3 star rating. I give it a 6 star rating, it's worth a one time watch.

    Just not a good movie

    The cinematography is mediocre, the acting is stiff if not laughable, the action is poor, the locations are completely unremarkable and you will most likely be bored to tears after a few minutes. I left the theatre with about 20 minutes to go because I just couldn't take it any longer.

    If you need to entertain a pre-teen or young teenager who is a fan of Bautista, maybe, otherwise don't waste your money on this.

    Bad movie

    The film was truly awful. The writing felt lazy and uninspired, with dialogue that never once rang true. The acting was equally painful to watch - flat, overdone in places, and completely lacking in chemistry. There wasn't a single moment that stood out as clever, moving, or even memorable; it was just another forgettable attempt at entertainment. The most baffling part is how they managed to convince Samuel L. Jackson to sign on. His presence raised my expectations, but even his talent couldn't rescue this mess. Instead, it left me wondering whether he owed someone a favor or just wanted an easy paycheck, because nothing in this movie was worthy of him.

    interesting but loses its way

    Afterburn is a post sort of apocolypse film. I would have liked atleast a flashback to show the solar flare and go from there but no we get straight into a monologue by butistas character who is a treasure hunter and gets sent to paris by samual l jackson to bring the mona lisa back. Half way through unfortunalty this film does lose its way and it becomes a little boring. Butistas not bad as a lead. His pretty good and the action is atleast decent enough to keep me watching but the plot is too thin.

    Average action movie

    Pretty average action post apocalyptic movie, with well known actors, who did lazy job except Bautista and Samuel L. Jackson. Story is predictable, scrip it's also very poorly done, there's no character development. It's good to watch when your stoned Couse there's nothing important to remember or pay attention to, only the things happening with few action scenes.

    • Trivia
      Nicolas Cage was in talks to join the project.
    • Goofs
      The movie's opening sequence shows lights going out across Europe, presumably as the electrical grid is taken down by the solar flare... but as it's on the night side, the Western hemisphere would be protected from the effects of the flare, which typically only last a few minutes.
