Aftershock (2013)

So disappointed in this piece of garbage, partly because I have a massive crush on Eli Roth. The whole time I was thinking how could this guy lower himself to be in such a juvenile horror flick? The movie was gory to the point of absurdity, with body parts flying around and heads being knocked off. You know when this movie would be a good one to watch? When you're sitting around with a bunch of friends, maybe having had a little too much to drink, and you want to hoot and holler and laugh. If that's the case, then this is your movie.

An Eli Roth movie, essentially, he doesnt direct, but stars and writes and produces, so... Its a disaster flick thrown together with kind people who in face of tragedy, band together to help each other survive. LOL. I said it was an Eli Roth movie remember... A group of over-privileged douche bags go out for a night on the town in Chile. And while they're being douche bags in some awesome nightclub, the Earth decides to get into and put on a dance herself, thus killing a shit ton of people almost instantly...one of the douche's loses a hand trying to save some hot chick, thats what you get for being nice asshole. Once they get outside the world is in chaos and the douche bags find out that while all this is going on we also find out that a bus load of dangerous prisoners over turned and many escaped, so we have that to look forward too. So for the type of movie it is, and from who made it... and of course if you know who Eli Roth is and what he does, then you'll know exactly what youre getting yourself into. And I'm sick in the head, so, I really liked it. Peace.

** MAJOR SPOILERS**Because apparently, I missed the memo.Don't know the man, I'm sure he's a gem of a fellow, but his movies aren't worth watching.I just don't get it. More stupid people in ridiculous situations, more women treated like pieces of meat on the male hormone market and more stupid decisions that lead to dumber consequences.The only thing decent about this film was the fact that Eli Roth allows himself to be killed off.That's not normally something you see...lead actors biting the dirt.As for the rest of the cast...good riddance. I have Don't bother. Could have, should have, been good, as it had a lot of potential, but came apart as quickly as the shattered buildings.What a waste of time...

This is my first review and will try to keep it as short as possible because, hating to bust on any aspiring authors or critics out there most of us don't read the long reviews. There's no need to write a 2,000 word synopsis on any movie,show or whatever here, IMDb already does that for us. We just wanna know if it's any good or not.... oops I guess there goes keeping this short.Anyways, I just watched it this morning so while it's fresh in my mind, is this movie any good?If you like horror, action and/or adventure (along the line of Jaws, though this is no Jaws) you might enjoy this. It has its action, experiencing and trying to escape the earthquake. It's got its scary, borderline intense moments of terror and lots'a blood n' gore. Oh yeah and bonus, some annoying hipsters get killed! Add in a couple of "didn't see that coming" plot twists, a fun ending and you may start moving towards the edge of your seat but, I don't think you'll make it all the way there.Bottom line, it's not a particularly moving piece of cinema but,if you got an hour and a half to kill and you're not paying for it (like me I caught it on cable) It's still better than a lot of the other crap I've seen lately on TV so it's coming in at a solid, watchable but not earth-shaking 6
