Has anyone seen After Earth?
« on: June 08, 2013, 11:27:40 pm »
I saw it the other day with friends. The critics slammed it but I actually really liked it! There's a coming of age story, family values, aliens. What's not to like? Plus it's nice to see some diversity in the science fiction genre. I only wish it was available in 3D but it was still a pretty cool flick.

Have you seen it? What did you think?

The film looks pretty somber,with Will playing a very dour guy.(Laurence Fishburne probably was made for the role.)

The film looks like all those "Man in the Wilderness" films (that I hated with a passion) that were out in the 70's,only updated for the 23rd century.I'll pass.

Considering the people involved, Will Smith, and the director that at one time made really good flicks, and the almost limitless financing they had available... this is without doubt the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!!

A million thumbs down on this pathetic film. Do NOT waste 5¢ of your money to see this tripe...

Will and Jaden Smith acting together in a sci-fi is enough for me.  I can't wait to see it!   ;D :heart: :star: :star:

I thought it looked horrible and the reviews seem to be confirming that. Really just seemed like an attempt make Will Smith's son a star.

This film is absolutely no credit to Will Smith at all. Frankly I cannot imagine why they even released this 'thing'. I am a Will Smith fan, and this is a true disappointment. Sorry to all those that love Will, I don't think you will be favorably impressed with this effort.  ???

Heck! Even Will Smith didn't like the movie. That should tell us something right there!

This was Will's reaction upon learning of the critic's reaction to After Earth:

I heard the reviews weren't good, but I'll have to see for myself, since everyone's opinion is different.

Yeah I heard it was pretty terrible. Waiting until Man of Steel comes out to head to the theater again.

More like your reaction when you realized that it was not a remake of star wars. I actually like this move After Earth. Will is great actor and so is his son.
