Dir: M. Night Shyamalan

There is something very nice about a Father and Son making films together that makes it hard to dislike After Earth, even though it isn't very good. Will Smith grunts his way through, obviously letting his son have the limelight, a loving gesture, but unfortunately little Jaden Smith isn't ready to take on a leading role. He was good in the Karate Kid remake but this is a little too much too soon for the little mite. I could barely hear a word he was saying half the time, I can't help but think his panicked and nervous performance was more natural then it was acting. I'm sure the Smith family will treasure it forever but the rest of us will probably just forget that it exists within a couple of years.
