After Earth

☆☆1/2

+
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, Will Smith and son Jaden team-up in “After Earth” a sci-fi adventure that tells the story of General Cypher Raige (Will Smith) and son Kitai (Jaden Smith) who fight to stay alive after their space craft crashes on Earth (1,000 years after all humanity is gone).

Young Jaden gives a solid performance.

The story just doesn’t work.

I always enjoy Will Smith…but this is not his best performance. Part of the problem is a poorly written character.

Rated PG-13
1 hr. 40 min.
