60 of 79 · most liked firstWatching amazon slop film Afterburn and i am BEGGING someone who makes movies to give my man dave bautista a real movie he's allowed to act in. He can act!!! This movie is nothing. Its a nothing movie. A pointless thing. I bet it cost 128mil to make and every aspect of it is utterly forgettable.
negative · AI labelView post →There’s a movie called AFTERBURN coming, based on a comic from a friend of mine, starring Dave Bautista. He’s an adventurer trying to steal art (specifically the Mona Lisa) in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. They keep making Indiana Jones movies, when they could be riffing and making stuff like this.
neutral · AI labelView post →J.J. Perry's post-apocalyptic treasure hunt movie AFTERBURN is a good old fashioned action vehicle for Dave Bautista in that it's fine and fun but excels most at showcasing the unique qualities of the star. Also featuring Olga Kurylenko, Samuel L. Jackson and Daniel Bernhardt. On disc today.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched AFTERBURN (2025) post-apocalyptic treasure hunting flick with Dave Bautista. There's the requisite quotient of action, but the film commits a cardinal sin and fails to give us a reason to care why this happening. Exploding Helicopter fave Olga Kurylenko brightens things up as Dave's sidekick
negative · AI labelView post →Literally 2 minutes into the Dave Bautista movie Afterburn & the plot is already absurd. A solar flare knocked out all electronics on earth. OK, I can buy that. But it's 6 years later & the whole world is a post-apocalyptic wasteland. So everyone forgot how to make any kind of technology?

If I had a nickel for every time this year I've watched Dave in this exact same movie, I'd have 2 nickels. This one was less bad than the Milla Jovovich one, but it's still pretty bad. #filmsky

negative · AI labelView post →The movie Afterburn is so bad I was yelling at it throughout. What a piece of shit. I enjoy Dave Bautista's acting & thought if I stuck it out, the movie would get better. No, it only gets worse.
negative · AI labelView post →It seems like most people missed JJ Perry's new action film last year AFTERBURN. It was better than I thought. It lacks depth, character and story, but there are some good action and stunts. You got Dave Bautista and Olga Kurylenko dodging bullets, motorbikes, tanks and Daniel Bernhardt.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Afterburn You can tell this Dave Batuista post-apocalypse action movie is based on a comic because there is an insanely detailed backstory mixed with the occasional visual it doesn't earn. Laid back character work and its WWII resistance aesthetic is enjoyable. Pity the rest is so generic
neutral · AI labelView post →Despite being one of the worst movies I've ever seen, Beyond Sherwood Forest didn't have the worst dialogue of all the films I watched last night. That honour goes to Afterburn featuring Dave Bautista. That was an OK action movie but a lot of the dialogue was just mindless filler

neutral · AI labelView post →Samuel L Jackson is almost 77, but I’ve never thought of him as old- until now. With a hoarse whisper and a distinctly slower demeanour, his performance in Afterburn is pretty much the main talking point of one of 2025’s most forgettable movies: boxd.it/c7Niwr
negative · AI labelView post →Both are enjoyable hokum. In The Lost Lands is CGI-heavy to the point I'm not sure if a single frame was shot outdoors, while Afterburn is very light on CGI and heavy on practical stunts - but more importantly features The Actor Kevin Eldon, so is probably the better beer+pizza film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Afterburn would have been better served as a series than a movie. Even though the movie reaches a conclusion, it feels like there's no meaningful progression. If not for the performances, the movie would have been unwatchable. At times the movie fully embraces the fact that it's a CBM, (1/3)
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, #Afterburn #MovieReview. No spoilers. From Wikipedia:Afterburn is a 2025 American post-apocalyptic action film directed by J. J.
