Although we were led to believe that the ‘After’ saga would end with ‘After. Infinite Love ‘, the truth is this Hardin and Tessa’s story still has a lot to tell. As revealed by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, its lead actor, this teenage franchise will be extended with another sequel, although it will not be an expansion of what was read in Anna Todd’s books, but rather the final part of the fourth and final. volume, which was divided into two parts.
Like this, ‘After. Infinite Love ‘breaks with expectations and it becomes a prologue to its conclusion, a film with an atypical structure that leaves us with honey on our lips in the face of the final climax and which, in part, ends up staying in no man’s land. However, this decision also helps make it a production more focused on building dramatic conflict and emotion, something that its fans, eager to continue exploring the relationship of its two protagonists on the big screen, will appreciate.
already after. Lost Souls’, the third installment of the saga, focuses more on drama and maturity than on adolescent sexual delirium, as in the case of the second installment. This had its advantages and disadvantages, as it made the films lose their more playful side on the one hand and on the other It turned Hardin and Tessa’s story into a much more adult and centered tale.. Of course, the sexual component and hottest scenes were still present, being an exciting delight for those who are loyal to this teenage romance, but the tone has gone in another direction.
Now, in this penultimate film, this whole part is strengthened, bringing its protagonists more serious and dramatic situations that will put their relationship into play more and, therefore, will give more emotion and tension to the story. It can be seen in the growth of the characters, in the way they deal with their problems or in their courage in making difficult and very decisive decisions for their lives. Furthermore, in the midst of so much intensity we have once again the most provocative and sensual sequences that elevate the result on the screen. Special mention to Tessa’s plot section in New York, the sequences of the two protagonists in their car or their tense reunions.
Only for ‘After’ fans
However, we are again faced with a plot that leads nowhere. It all boils down to back and forth in the relationship between Hardin and Tessa without a powerful plot conflict in the background, then the film returns to remain in a succession of moments that only fans will appreciate. After all, they are films that focus on giving fans of the franchise the thrill they felt from reading Anna Todd’s books on screen and, as such, ‘After. Infinite love ‘works like a spell.
But it cannot be denied on this occasion the problem of the insignificance of its plot is more pronounced, as splitting into two films ultimately makes it more obvious. That they leave the story in half without justification and that they do it in a very casual and rushed moment, makes you think even more that the story advances aimlessly and makes you leave the room thinking you have seen a blank tape. And it’s that at the plot level, it ends at a point virtually identical to that of the previous films, with more loves coming and going that it’s hard for them to find a powerful script conflict.
Eventually, as is often the case with any success story, excessive extension can take its toll. Although it doesn’t matter if the film achieves its goal: to win back the many ‘After’ fans who year after year await the return of Hardin and Tessa to the big screen with high doses of romance, sex and emotion. And in this, ‘After. Infinite Love ‘satisfies more than.
Note: 6
The best: A more mature and dramatic story that will once again delight its fans with its doses of romance and sex.
Worse: The decision to split the ending into two parts and let their storylines lead nowhere.
