9 Films To Watch On Netflix UK In July (And 1 To Avoid)
10. AVOID: After
Arriving July 12, 2019
Based on a novel by Anna Todd, this young adult romantic drama was initially released in April and is soon to be made available on Netflix. The story centres around college freshmen Tessa Young who has everything figured out until she meets bad boy Hardin Scott.
Currently the movie holds 5.5 on IMDB and a 14% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (from 29 reviews). It has been described as boring, predictable and just bad.
From the trailer alone, you can see After is basically twilight but without any vampires. While there were things to enjoy in the Stephenie Meyer inspired blood sucking saga (which are also on Netflix), the recipe becomes far less enjoyable if you take away the most interesting ingredient. To make matters worse, the already defanged After then adds a sprinkling of 50 Shades of Grey just to ensure maximum vomit potential. Avoid.
