After We Leave Movie Reviews

Don’t believe the negative reviews

These 1- and 2-star reviews are just ridiculous. People really have been dumbed down by Hollywood. If you like your movies glossy, formulaic, and with neat little endings that tie up all the loose ends, then this is not for you. But if you like movies with originality, that make you think, then give this a go. It’s not fantastic, and it can be a little slow, but it’s definitely worth watching. I’m glad I did.

If this movie wasn’t bad enough, the ending makes it worse.

I’m not one to slam new filmmakers, but newb writer, director and producer Aleem Hossain should’ve had a seasoned screenwriter go over his script.

The premise of the story was decent, but there was too much filler and very little substance. The ridiculously long and unnecessary near-still camera shots got annoying very fast. The plot and technical issues were very evident. Not even taking the slow pacing into account, the lack of substance made this 82 min run-time feel like almost 3 hours. This film needed to be a short, or a 1 hour TV length. What’s worse, was Hossain’s attempt for a plot twist at the end that was a huge fail, and gave this film that generic dumb ending you see in many cheap b-grade films.

Aside from the long dragged out scenes, Hossain’s directing and camera work was ok for a newb, although the few action scenes had terrible choreography and poor camera angles. The cinematography and color choice needed to be much better. Even for a low budget indie film, the sci-fi should’ve been more apparent than a few CGI moments. Without those, you’d think the timeline was the 1980’s. Although the score was quite fitting and impressive for a b-grade film, sadly, the sound was terrible especially during the action sequences e.g. gun fire. The acting was the main highlight of this film.

This film is not anything close to a 10, but certainly undeserving of any 1 and 2’s. Cutting some slack for new filmmakers, I’m giving this film a generous 5/10.

Most promising movie to date (2020)

This is one for movie-buffs and also for those with a few extra brain cells that have not been desensitized by dumb Hollywood. Although the basic premise is a simple one – futuristic dystopian Earth, run both by big business and small-town mafia, the story actually transcends a Sci-Fi to become more of a human drama and a tough-guy personal story of self-revealing. Though slow-paced there is a sort of genius in the way the screenplay slowly reveals personalities and their histories, like one of the slit-lanterns gradually uncovering the light and truth, with plenty of imagination and nuance, not only towards the audience but also to “solitary John”, the central, hard-man character. There were so many opportunities to let violence rip and become cliché – but even this is disciplined and controlled, with some fulfillment in the dramatic conclusion. I’m sure that Aleem Hossain will make it big in future endeavors, provided he sticks to his principles.
