Excellent but underrated film

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is one of the worst movies I've ever watched. I threw the DVD into the bushes outside my hotel room window after watching it so that I never have to be reminded of how I wasted however many minutes it was of my life.To be fair the acting was decent, it's just that the plot was rubbish, the script was diabolical, and the cinematography was average.Whilst I have an idea what the film was about. It made no sense. It was a series of scenes cobbled together. Nothing was explained. Things were alluded to, but who people were, what they were doing, why they were doing them was left open. I appreciate that sometimes, these can be left to the imagination of the viewer, but this film took the mickey in that respect.

I never thought I could hate anything so much. I am furious that something this bad could be made. I will not sleep until I get my money back from RedBox because this was just GARBAGE. I have never wrote any review on a movie, but this is the worst movie that has ever been made. Not at one point in the movie did any of the cast redeem themselves for even a moment. It is my goal to ruin anyone's life that had some contribution to this movie. I even want the catering service dead. I just hope that the director reads these to find out the huge failure that he is. If you work for Darfur, Anti-Smoking, Breast Cancer Awareness, or anything of the nature, you need to stop what you are doing and devote all of your time to letting people know that this is the worst movie that has ever been made.

In the last years,there has been an explosion of movies with a post-apocalyptic subject and I think there are two reasons for that : worldwide situation is everyday more dangerous and unpredictable and that inspires to speculate what life is going to be like in the days after our civilization goes down because of its vices and mistakes.The other reason is technical : the easy access to audio and video equipment,accompanied with the edition and digital distribution,makes easier the creation of cheap movies about the future world which will be full of danger (translation : filmmaker aspirants,who have more enthusiasm than talent,call some of their friends,and on their free time,they make a semi-improvised movie using old clothes,artificial blood and a location lent by some member of their family).20 Years After could have been one of that generic movies because of the amateur performances,mistakes on the art direction and an irregular visual style.However,I give credit to this movie because it avoids a lot of clichés from this kind of movies (for example,the zombies)and because it tried to do something deeper,more realistic and meditative about the future world.In other words,the element I mostly appreciated from this movie is its ambition.I also appreciated the deepness put on the characters because,thinking it well,they all represent different aspects of the humanity.I may be giving this movie too much credit but I noticed that behind the various fails from this movie (for example,the screenplay is irregular and there are some boring moments),there are solid concepts and a clear porpoise...although the movie did not completely achieve that.The story from this movie sounds as an ultra-modest version of the film Children of Men and,of course,this film very far away from that brilliant movie.But,inside its limited possibilities,it tries to make us think at the same time it entertains us.20 Years After does not always get that difficult point but I still respect this film because it tried to go a bit more far away.So,I can recommend this movie as a failed but interesting experiment.In summary,what I mostly appreciated from 20 Years After is that it risked to fail for making something more creative and ambitious than what this kind of post-apocalyptic low-budget films usually do.As I have said many times,it's better to see a movie which failed for trying to go beyond its limits than a movie which failed for not risking.So,because of that,20 Years After deserves respect.

This movie is only any good if you like horrible movies.Nothing made sense. And when I say nothing, I mean: nothing. I don't think I've ever asked the question "What?" so many times in the span of a couple hours.The music never seemed to match the scene. The dummy was completely unnecessary. The acting was horrendous. Azura's character was not okay with having her baby in a cave (w/fresh spring water) but was perfectly fine with giving birth in an abandoned building. My biggest problem is with the baby crazed woman. She gives birth to a less than perfect baby (large birth marks and mentally handicapped) and is extremely bitter about it, so much so that she's abusive towards him.
