The movie shows little interest in either dramatic context or the realities of human behavior.

Schwarzenegger and McNairy give powerful performances in this dire, downbeat drama, but the filmmaking frequently undermines them, choosing shortcuts ..

As movie stars go, hes a charisma driven supernova, almost Incredible Hulk like in his emotional simplicity: Make Hulk angry, and Hulk smash!
Variety
3.0
Aftermath may not say much, but Arnold Schwarzeneggers reserved performance is a somber turn that keeps drama surprisingly in tune.

Helped along by a gloomy, oppressive score, it neither thoughtfully examines themes of trauma, guilt and grief nor moves with any sort of haste to its ..

The film evokes nothing more strongly than a live action adaptation of a Crate and Barrel catalog.

Post politics, theres been a gloomy, anguished note to Arnold Schwarzeneggers film work.
Screen Daily

Despite the seriousness of his intentions, Aftermath doesnt pack sufficient emotional punch.
The Hollywood Reporter

The film takes leave of credibility early, but thinks 271 people unconvincingly dying in the sky should power it through, even though little else happ ..

This movie wont make you feel any good feelings and youll probably feel somber after seeing it.

He even succeeds to a certain extent as theres an air of melancholy, uncertainty and ambiguity throughout.
4.5
The film doesnt need the sappy stuff when its got these performances at its center.
Village Voice
3.0
Cuts deep into complex emotions without the safety net of ultraviolence. Its an engrossing study of despair.
Blu Ray
3.1
The character doesnt need the push, but there arefor lack of a better termshowier scenes in Jakes half of the story.
Mark Reviews Movies
3.0
Grief and guilt, then, and Arnies portrait of desolation is quite powerful, if rather one note (he favours the school of stoic mourning).
The Times

Importantly, Aftermath isnt the kind of action movie that Arnie fans may be expecting.

It should be a no brainer to build, at a minimum, a manipulative tear jerker about so many tragic and unnecessary deaths.

That way, director Zach Braff doesnt have to worry about their shaky claim on the moral high ground.

Aftermath becomes a study of grief that, despite occasional moments of mawkishness, is anchored by raw honesty.

An agreeably small, viscerally wrenching drama that vacillates between pleasant restraint and occasional dramatic excess, Aftermath shows Arnold Schwa ..
Flickering Myth
5.0
Yet the movie that results should not be combed for historical truth.It is best approached, I would say, as a fantasia on Fawcettian themes.
New Yorker
2.0
It doesnt give Moss enough to do and ends abruptly rather than satisfyingly.

Which is why all ages should relate to the immensely entertaining animation The Boss Baby.

Maybe Schwarzeneggers next movie will be as fascinating as his decision to star in it.
Las Vegas Weekly
2.0
Unfortunately, in the case of Aftermath, it doesnt have the same calibre of performance or actor.
Hey U Guys

Reducing promising material to movie of the week status, Aftermath is well meaning, but anonymously made.

The filmmaking by numbers continues through the hollow denouement and a not so shocking twist.

Arnie and Scoot lay on the anguish bravely, even though combating a narrative and psychological vacuum.

Aftermath just doesnt have any moments, even when you consider the limitations of the genre.

He may have machismo as his bread n butter, but Wahlberg has proven time and again hes capable of more nuanced, satisfying performances.
2.0
Its a bit cheeky of Gunn and the studio to take two movies to finish one story, but with a pay off this enjoyable, forgiveness is easy.
Straits Times
3.0
He isnt particularly terrible at it; hes just Arnold Schwarzenegger, and this isnt what hes for.
The Shiz Nit

Aftermath fails to convey a believable mindset for its characters, and labors greatly to overcome the slightness of its budget.

Powerful performances from all involved elevate this story from what could have easily been TV movie, to a solid and worthwhile drama.

Schwarzenegger and McNairy contribute credible performances, but both actors deserved better than this uneven, unmoving tale.
