Story: After the Dark" is set at an international school in Jakarta, where a philosophy teacher (D'Arcy) challenges his class of twenty students to a final thought experiment. Faced with an impending nuclear apocalypse, they must determine which ten of them would take shelter underground and reboot the human race. The decision quickly becomes deadly as each in the group turns against each other in a desperate fight for survival that blurs the lines between theory and reality.
Likes : This movie is very hard to understand unless you know philosophy because the of way this is filmed is very clever & use's alot of philosophy through out the film. After seeing so many review pulling this film down truly show that those that have put this film down are missing the whole point of the film using philosophy in a way of logic which most people seem to lack.
The film revolves around's a set of apocalyptic scenarios where only 10 people can only live in a bunker for a year the other's must iver fight for them self or die in the blast, but here where philosophy come in to play with logic in the way who would be the best ten people that would best suit a future to rebuild the human race to those that would be completely unless , logic dictate that people with needed skill need to be chosen to live to build the human race back but mistake's can be made if you don't use logic right.
This is where this film is brilliant because not only does this film explain the philosophy but cleverly show the philosophy in work i sutal ways,apart from one scene which was unrealistic and illogical thank god it was only one scene because the rest was very thought provoking & brilliantly done.
This film is prove why you should never listen to some bad review's & view the film for yourself because your missing out on gems like this film because this is intelligently made & very clever with the wild card element in the philosophy which throws the choice do you chose to save the wild card or do you chose to let that person but it comes with a price which is logic because the choice could save your life as well or it could kill you that is show perfectly in this film.This is a film i recommend if you know philosophy & logic because you will really enjoy this film if you get the the point of the film.
Dislikes : Just the one scene was a little unrealistic and illogical for the moment, but apart from that the whole film was great.
Overall : Brilliant use of logic & philosophy, good especial effect not over done,
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9.1 out of 10 for the use of logic & philosophy
