Overall, movie didn't feel something to drool over. After all the music was created by James Newton, the man behind soundtrack of Batman Begins, along with Hans Zimmer. One thing I liked about this movie was the Soundtrack. After Earth can be said as Jaden's role as a first billed star cast. But unlike that film After Earth wasn't a Will Smith movie. He first worked with his father in "The Pursuit of Happiness". Its not like this is his fist cameo with Will Smith. But is later shown to gather courage to do what he sought out to. He is shown to be a boy who gets scared easily. Talking about performance of Jaden, real son of Will Smith, I have to say he needs much to learn. This is why the time is took to built the pace seemed long, but the actual time devoted to Earth felt short and rushed. And it felt like movie was cut short due to budget constraints at a later stage of production. Night failed to get more dangers for the actor to fight against. But what I think lacked much in After Earth, was the fact that Earth didn't seem much dangerous to me. The pace of movie was rather acceptable, and father son combo was the selling point. Certainly not that what is expected of this age.
Visual effects were also just acceptable. Except the basic premise of survival and some flashbacks there isn't much to say. Story wise movie doesn't give much to offer. So when I say After Earth wasn't a total disappointment, I mean it. But fortunately his last movie "The Last Airbender" wasn't his last movie as a director.
Night, but he have a knack of making movies too boring sometimes. It was this low expectation that made the movie worth a watch.
Night Shyamalan, and all my hopes were out. But fortunately I saw today that it was directed by M. I have to admit that the trailer when I saw it months ago, did get me excited. After Earth is a Sci Fi survival story of a boy named, "Kitai Raige" (Jaden Smith) who crash landed on a planet along with his father "Cypher Raige" (Will Smith), and have to survive various kinds of dangers that Earth greets the crash landers with.
