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.

I liked it, but I like MOST of Tom Hanks movies.

I used to think Rotten Tomato reviews could help me determine a good movie from a bad one. Not so anymore. Inferno was intriguing and worth the watch. Not an "on the edge of your seat" flick but kept me wanting to know what happens. Why so many bad reviews I have no idea.

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.
