Shayne M @RT88705180 4d I really enjoyed After Earth. I enjoyed for the reasons that most of the critics scored it very low. I like the themes of personal growth in his films, they can be a little long winded sometimes, however I find films that you leave feeling a bit better about things in general should be celebrated, not ridiculed. The film is pretty much what I expected, and what I felt like watching at the time. See more Mitch S @SwagoDiego2k Jun 2 Ah good ole nepotism butting it's ugly head in. It's always awesome when someone lacking raw talent and skill gets a leading roll just because their parents are in the industry. Jaden Smith cut in front of the line and in his debut, utterly failed. Doesn't help that it was a M Night film, that is unfortunate but he had access to opportunities that many simply never get, so In his failure I feel no sympathy. The story was poorly written and that's not shocking. M Night was once a great director and now, mostly it is all bad. This one was really bad. Plot holes galore and simply put it's boring. I feel nothing for the characters and their problems nor is there enough time to create the narrative that they are attempting to spin to the audience. And in the end it's nothing of value occuring the entire time. It's a slog to watch and not worth the time. Even if it's free it costs you time that you can spend watching paint dry, that would be way better! See more Erwin G @Icer74win May 29 It’s not horrible, I mostly enjoyed it. The ending was satisfying. Not a waste of my time See more Mr.Universe .. @StellarSorin May 1 For a Will Smith movie this is just as good as his other projects for me. It doesn't have the same emotion as I, Robot or I Am Legend, but it's still a very solid film. Don't let these other reviews fool you, just give it a shot. Jaden Smith does a good job acting out his role and potraying the paranoia of his situation. 5.6/10 I just don't understand the hate.

It’s a decent watch, the world is interesting and so is the tech. My only real issue is the accents. Many other people can agree on this that are weird and unfitting to the world. Why would everyone in the car future be speaking in southern accents. It’s a little weird and kinda goofy. But overall I enjoy the movie every time I watch it and I don’t get why people hate the fact that Jaden was in it. In my opinion, he was better off acting than the cringy nonsense he gets up to now. He also had a good performance in the Karate Kid remake even though the movie was stupid. And pursuit of happiness is a highly rated movie, it just seems like critics just waited for the perfect flop to turn on him and start spewing nepotism this and nepotism that. Like obviously it’s nepotism but it’s is everywhere in Hollywood but most of them turn a blind eye to some and go after others See more Glory K @Ms.Glory Feb 23 The reviews are not wrong...the plot has big holes, the accents are weird...but I enjoy it anyway and have watched it a few times. In all honestly I think the harsh criticism stems from the popular hate for Hollywood nepotism. It's just a fun survivalist ride not to be taken too seriously. There are a lot of such movies available and none were judged as harshly as this one. See more Read all reviews
