Like 'Oblivion' before it 'After' says, 'Humans messed up,' but offers meager entertainment, nothing in terms of solutions, and lots of intelligence-insulting pseudo-science.

It's not Shyamalan's fault -- he did his best with what he was given. He deserves another shot.

The movie takes off from a concept as basic as a videogame, and it sticks to that concept, without surprise.

After a not very impressive crash sequence, the film settles into a running battle between young Master Smith and a series of CGI monsters, a schema that sounds tiresome, and is.

By the standards of M. Night's Shyamalan's recent films, After Earth is surprisingly not horrible.

Most disappointing is the film's lack of ambition, as what could have been a sparky mainstream space opera becomes just another tedious jungle chase movie.

It's no classic, but it's a special movie: spectacular and wise.

A film in which the text and subtext-an effortlessly gifted father presses his less-talented son to follow in his footsteps-are in perfect alignment. Alas, only in one of the two does the story end happily.

If [Jaden Smith] wants a career in film, he'll need to do better than this.

The dialogue is as wooden as the acting, and the plot is just silly. Truly, the only thing the film has going for it are some occasionally cool special effects.

As drama, After Earth offers no surprises; as action, it's rarely stimulating; as a parenting manual, it seems that Will has thrown Jaden into water that's a little too deep.

After Earth unfortunately still finds M. Night Shyamalan plodding through another dull, lifeless movie.
