Famous symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows a trail of clues tied to Dante, the great medieval poet. 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 (Ben Foster) from unleashing a virus that could wipe out half of the world's population.

Critics Consensus

Senselessly frantic and altogether shallow, Inferno sends the Robert Langdon trilogy spiraling to a convoluted new low.

The real plague: The pervasive sexism that creeps into every aspect of this plot.

When you want to put down Sky Mall for a few minutes, Inferno will be right there, on the back of the seat in front of you.

Inferno is better than The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons, but both of those films set the bar reprehensibly low.

2/4

The arrival of Inferno, Howard's treatment of the fourth novel in Brown's series, feels marked by the underwhelming previous efforts and a decided sense of obligation toward maintaining an unwanted franchise.

1.5/4

As a character, Langdon has even less dimensions than the more animated sleuths Carmen Sandiego and Dora the Explorer, and it's sad seeing Hanks wasting his talents in such a gossamery role.

Overstuffed with clues, just not thrills.

Es una película interesante, con una trama que atrapa desde el inicio. Toca temas polémicos de forma llamativa y es de esas historias que te mantienen atento en todo momento. Tiene varios giros interesantes, aunque algunos resultan algo predecibles.

Even though I liked the book Inferno, I didn't like the movie; I feel like everything happens so fast that you don't understand anything.

The worst of the Langdon trilogy BUT as the bar was too high this doesn’t disappoint. I think it was a good idea not to continue with the other books.

It looks good, has lots of scenic locals. Cast is solid - I am not a Tom Hanks fan, but can't deny he is a good actor. That all said, this thing is a mess. There is some sort of shadow agency that want to sell a world ending virus to highest bidder, but everyone in the agency backstabs each other - literally. The crazy guy wants to save the world from overpopulation by killing half of everyone (where have I seen this done better?). Even if he succeeds, by his own bacteria analogy, that only sets the 30 day counter back one day. Sigh. And then finally and probably most importantly - if the guy wants to release a virus, why doesn't he just DO IT instead of an elaborate historical treasure hunt? They MAY have explained this somewhere in the 1st ADHD half of the movie, but I must have missed it.

Low expectations probably helped, but this big-budget thriller turned out to be very enjoyable while we exercised. The story moves at a brisk pace, the theme of overpopulation adds a provocative edge, and the high production value shows in every scene. It looks and sounds great, and the constant momentum made it perfect for a workout movie.
