This movie was better than the last but still left me feeling dissapointed. I loved that it followed the storyline of the book and included all the important moments but they were so rushed I felt like I didnt really get to experience the scenes. There were so many compliations of clips many that were pointless and could of been left out and given more time to important moments that would make the audience feel more connected to the characters. The camera angles is what really confused me throughout this movie as I feel most of them were closeups that made me feel disconnected from the scenes such as closeups on the toothbrush, on the back of Hardin's hair etc. They were all clips that didnt add anything to the movie and with so many it made the movie feel like a jumbled mess of uninteresting clips. I will say this movie did have some great emotional scenes were I could really sense how the charcters were feeling and even felt moved by the acting which is what I think helped improve my overall rating of this movie. Overall defenitly worth a watch but would loved for the scenes to have more depth and detail to make this movie really great.

I am extremley outraged and disapointed in this film. I am obsessed with the After series and have read the books to many times too count and loved the first movie. This movie did not meet my expectations what so ever. First off the movie was not chronologically correct at all and felt like scenes were randomly placed and theye was no storyline in the movie. Second there were very big key character points that needed to be addressed and werent such as Hardin learning to love his mum more verbally, Tessa's relationship with the scott family, and Nial and Tessa's relationship which was not even apart of the movie but was a key element in the books as this was something Tessa's and Hardin fight over constantly. There were also very important moments that were rushed and gave no time for us to process as well as blasting music over them so you couldnt understand what was being said, such as Hardin apologizing to his father for punching him which was an important factor in his process of becoming a better person, you could not hear what he said at all and the scene ended in seconds. Another example is the tattoo Hardin gets with quote on his back, this scene eneded so quickly I couldnt even read it, as well as this tattoo was a symbol of his love for Tessa and this was not even addresed and made the tattoo meaningless.The last item I will address that irratated me was when they compiled multiple important character developing scenes into a compliation of meaningless second length clips, all on tessas birthday. In this was the ice skating date which was meant to show Hardin going out of way to impress Tessa into taking him back and how he has changed since being apart but turned into a scene where he only agreed because it was her birthday. On this day was also the babysitting scene with Smith, Hardin was not meant to just agree to this as one big issues is that he hates kids and Tessa wants some in the future but in the scene he tries to talk to the kid and seems happy. This movie was to meant to be full of passionate fights, sex and meaningful character developments but the characters had very little emotions or passion and the scenes where so rushed that nothing was meaningful at all. Overall I was looking forward to this movie so much but am so sad at the way at it was directed and filmed that I am no longer excited for the next after movie.

Me and my friend watched this movie, reading the bio and watching the trailer this movie made it seem it was about a group of teens starting a dancing crew WE WERE WRONG! this movie was disgusting and we both felt violated by seeing this. 11 year olds should not be sexualised like this in any way or form regardless if the movie was trying to shed light on the problem in society. This movie was basically child pornography and i cant believe that a whole team of actors, directors, editors etc made this movie and did not think to speak up and stop it. Netflix needs to remove this movie and publicly apologise as this is NOT OKAY!!!!!!
