The script by Roth, Lopez, and Lopez’s frequent collaborator, Guillermo Amoedo, giddily piles crisis upon crisis, with none of the customary mercy reserved for leading characters. Read full review

Thankfully, as the movie goes along, he tempers his bloodlust, instead engaging in sequences that up the suspense and terror while not exclusively luxuriating in the bloodshed. Read full review

Right up until the quake, Aftershock is a bland, sub-"Hangover" comedy about guys on the make in South America. Then finally, blessedly, the ground swallows up these shallow idiots. Read full review

The ending is sick enough to make it almost worth the wait. Key word: almost. Read full review

It's an unrelentingly brutal movie set in an unusually scenic locale — the coastal city of Valparaiso, Chile. Read full review

If all this sounds outrageous, and extreme … don’t worry, it’s not. Provocation coupled with ineptitude doesn’t reveal the ugliness of humanity; it simply reveals the ugliness of the filmmakers themselves. Read full review

Aftershock is incompetently made and morally muddled, but since talent, morality, and Mr. Roth have never been on speaking terms, we're not exactly surprised. Read full review

The acting was not always good and some CGI effects were pretty horrible but, I can't deny that it was an actually good movie.Predictable at times, and surprising at others,Aftershock is a good movie.Not exceptionally good but not exceptionally bad.

Hard to call the film all bad. Visually, the film is nice and captured without any jarring cinematography. The directing was great and the actors seemed to shine, even with sludge in the end of the second to third act.

The directing was great and the actors seemed to shine, even with sludge in the end of the second to third act. Everybody is all dancing and all enjoying in Chile and it would have been a good film if it left out the disaster. How do I describe this without spoiling the film?

Well, think about an okay cake. Like a lemon pound cake but for some reason it's sitting in a river of Tabasco sauce. Its nice until you get to the part where reality starts to bend. For some reason the kind of person you are in life means you can become a psychopathic murderer as soon as disaster strikes or someone looks at your tattoo. I felt it was way too stretched out of realism and to more of a silly and stereotypical territory. You can definitely enjoy the film for its sound design, cinematography and mise en scène, if you stop the film right when the crushing starts.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Film esageratamente violento, senza freni, con stupri, bambini morti, violenza, cattiveria allo stato puro.
Potevano benissimo evitare certe scene pur mantenendo il filone della trama... Scene di questo genere possono turbare!
Davvero pessimo, vergognoso..… Expand

Aftershock is an average movie with Eli Roth. Wow. I expected it to be better. We people weren't looking for a hurricane, gore and stylized Roth powers.

I expected it to be better. We people weren't looking for a hurricane, gore and stylized Roth powers. We were looking for a scary and gory good time. Well actually, I didn't get anything. The gory dazzle dazzle is just limited and then you get a bunch of of people falling to death. At the end, when Gringo gets out of that building, the effects are so unrealistic! The event in Chile is real but the Eli Roth and Nicolas Lopez spin off of this disaster is unrealistic! It's like Lopez and Roth were eating cake and Lopez is like- what if we made mega garbage to destroy thingamajigs and include a hell a lot of f**king gore. It didn't look like I was watching Aftershock. I looked like I was watching Finding Nemo. No story, no point and no real environments- that is why aftershock sucks. Selina Gomez sucks at acting. Really, Lopez took beggars to act in his film. Except Roth who is ruined and worst actor of the year for me. Yet. We'll see what s**t comes for us in the coming years.… Expand

Aftershock is the worst movie 2013, and I don't think that any movie could get worst than this movie, this movie should be frightening!
