Der Symbolforscher Robert Langdon wacht in einem Krankenhaus in Florenz auf und kann sich an nichts erinnern. Als eine Frau in Polizeiuniform das Zimmer stürmt, verhilft ihm die junge Ärztin Sienna Brooks zur Flucht. Ein Metallröhrchen aus Langdons Jacke führt die beiden auf eine heiße Spur: Ein Bild von Botticellis Gemälde nach Dantes 'Inferno' verbirgt eine codierte Botschaft des Milliardärs Zobrist, der die Weltbevölkerung durch Viren drastisch dezimieren will. Langdon und Sienna bleibt nur wenig Zeit, den Ausbruch einer globalen Seuche zu verhindern. (ORF)

Von dem Film war ich weniger als von der Buchvorlage enttäuscht, bei der ich manchmal nur ungläubig den Kopf geschüttelt und gegähnt habe. Das Drehbuch hat die aus den Fingern gesaugte Geschichte ein bisschen abgeändert und geglättet. Dennoch ist in ihr leider der Hauptblödsinn geblieben. Man kann aber nicht behaupten, dass der Film schlecht ist, weil er ein schnelles Tempo hat und am Ende alles irgendwie zusammenpasst (falls man darüber nicht mehr als nötig nachdenkt). Tom Hanks sowie Felicity Jones sind prima. Nur Hans Zimmer hat sich diesmal nicht besonders überarbeitet. Wenn ich nicht gewusst hätte, dass wieder er die Musik komponiert hat, wäre ich wahrscheinlich (im Vergleich zum perfekten The Da Vinci Code – Sakrileg und vor allem im Vergleich zu Illuminati) überhaupt nicht auf diese Idee kommen. Ich bin der Meinung, dass sich Ron Howard lieber für "Das verlorene Symbol" entscheiden sollte. Oder am besten etwas ganz anderes filmen sollte.

Ron Howard diligently pushes grand shots even where the viewer wouldn't expect them, and strives to make us forget about how formulaic the whole series feels. The supporting characters unnecessarily dilute the attention, and Felicity Jones' lukewarm performance doesn't help either. But what's even sadder is that even after a long break from Angels and Demons, it's clear that the screenplay is just trying to pick out the better ingredients from that and from The Da Vinci Code without adding anything new. Despite Tom Hanks' still surprisingly vibrant performance, my score remains below average, and I remain confused by this mishmash until this day.

I had no idea Hanks needed the money to be willing to star in something like this. But maybe he did it for charity. Or to give a history lesson. Or for the symbolism of it... Actually, it's pretty much about nothing. If you want action, this isn't it. If you want someone on the run, maybe it could be worth it. But if you want someone on the run, during which he has time to spout a lot of fine-sounding nonsense, then this film would be recommended. And then there's the part with the virus. How do you feel about a virus? Like one that wipes out a large part of humanity? Then I can't recommend it in that case, either. The cinematography is poor, the script's weak because the subject matter was weak. I don't think there's much to be done here. The acting is standard for such a B-movie (?). Somehow they'll get you through the dirt. A very weak 2 stars.

Whether it was The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons, these were adventure films that I felt respected the book they were based on. But Inferno pretty much wipes its own ass with the book it’s based on and I can’t understand at all how Ron Howard could have let this happen. I mean the previous films essentially stuck with the idea of the books. In this movie, not only do they not stick with the idea of the book, they essentially completely reversed it so that it would serve the interest of the movie. And I’m sorry about that, really really sorry. Because Felicity Jones has a great character to play in this one. And maybe I see it this way because I simply grew to like her as an actress. But as a whole, I cannot but complain. Inferno is not a good movie. And it would still be average even if I wasn’t familiar with the book. I didn’t like the editing. I didn’t like that the structure of the plot was essentially the same as in the previous films and I didn’t understand at all why the film refers to Dante’s “Divine Comedy” when, at least according to the film, it has no effect on the main idea of the film. And if there is an effect, it’s very fringe. So, personally I think that Inferno is the worst film adaptation of a book that I have ever seen. And seeing all the things that are behind this film makes it even worse.

It’s without a proper conspiracy subplot that would make news website readers' libidos harden, but with the futile plot of a nickel-and-dime thriller, with Howard making Langdon into Bourne and the viewer, even in the back row, an asshole who needs to see flashbacks 5-7 times. The exceptional stupidity is underlined by the fact that it takes itself seriously to the last symbol. If this were a lone wolf, not a member of a trilogy, I'd consider it decent sabotage from Howard.
