Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: None
Violence & Gore: Other scenes of violence include a scene where some characters are caught in a tussle with the sight of a black man being hit in the face by a fire extinguisher; three men fighting and stabbing each other before a woman appears and stabs one of them in the back and stomach; repeated shots of the male protagonist being stabbed in his neck with a syringe; a scene of a woman and the male protagonist struggling with a man underwater as the latter tries to drown them; etc.
The scenes are fairly intense, particularly when the characters are being pursued or when they are racing against time.
However, the impact of the violence is usually very brief or implied as the camera pulls away quickly, and there is little bloodshed.
Profanity: Expletives are featured, but voiced infrequently.
The film contains an utterance of the swear word "f**k" by a male character out of frustration.
This can be permissible for a teen audience
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: None
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The film contains some mildly disturbing images of people in hell as imagined by the male protagonist who struggles to recover his memories.
Based on Dan Brown's novels about famous symbologist Robert Langdon, 'Inferno' is the third installment in the film franchise in which Langdon loses his memory, and finds himself racing across Europe in a desperate bid to stop a madman from unleashing a global virus
Story: Academy Award® winner Ron Howard returns to direct the latest bestseller in Dan Brown's (Da Vinci Code) billion-dollar Robert Langdon series, Inferno, which finds the famous symbologist (again played by Tom Hanks) on a trail of clues tied to the great Dante himself. When Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories. Together, they race across Europe and against the clock to stop a madman from unleashing a global virus that would wipe out half of the world's population.
Likes : After committing papal heresy in 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Angels and Demons', renowned Harvard University symbiologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is in arguably less controversial territory with 'Inferno', which sees him pitted against a crazed billionaire geneticist who has invented the titular doomsday virus to wipe out half of the world's population.
In this 3rd installment we see Langdon come face to face with the madman named Bertrand Zobrist (Ben Foster) – not only do we get a pre- credits sequence establish Zobrist's as a person we get to see his obsession with humanity's imminent demise through overpopulation.
This is where we see Langdon find himself plunged into the world of 14th century Italian poet Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy' (Dante inferno) with a series of apocalyptic visions of hell , which give the audience homage to the story of Inferno if you know the story.
For those that don't know the story of Dante inferno although it called a divine comedy is actually a tragic love story of betrayal & love of a soldier paying for his sins who failed to save his love in life who was taken from him , he went through hell to save her soul from damnation to free her soul from his own sins.
This story was actually written by Dante Alighieri which actually reflects on his own life as he went through hell to be with someone he loved only for her to be lost to him as she married another man, hense why Dante inferno was loosely based off his own tragic life.
What actually entree-gin about this film is the fact it use's the story of Dante inferno in some way's portraying that humanity is a disease of it own sin's in order to purge this they must be purge buy fire to cure the the problem hense the reason for the doomsday virus concept.
It cleverly show this with certain levels of hell show the different people from different levels in a nightmarish dark twisted vision which actually give this film a bit of an edge , unlike the first two film's which were ok but were slightly boring, this 3rd film is actually better than the first two.
The pacing is slightly slow but keep you entertain the ending is very intense , but i wouldn't of given this a 12A certification due to the horror scenes which would be frightening too anyone under ago, not to mention a few scene of death.
Would i recommend this? maybe but it would depend on your taste of film's as this film isn't gonna be everyone ones cup of tea.
Dislikes : The only thing about this film is it didn't really use the Dante inferno concept that much their were a few scene but i feel there could of been more explanation for the audience that hasn't read the book , but it will come across to some people a little confusing they might not get it. That the only problem i saw with the film really.
Overall : Great use of the Dante fable of hell, great acting, pretty well all around film to watch, better than the first too film.
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.7 out of 10 for concept of Dante fable.
