After Earth

When talking about a bad movie, After Earth pops up in my mind immediately which according to Tomatometer, is rated 3.8 out of 10 on average.  It basically talks about how a crash landing leaves Kitai and his father Cypher get stuck on Earth, a millennium after events forced humanity's escape. As his father becomes injured, Kitai must run across the hostile forest to recover their rescue beacon.

To be fair, this father-son work isn’t as bad as it might have been: Jaden plays an intriguing figure, and there’s some nice visual design. However, the action is super slow and the most disappointing is the film’s lack of ambition, as what could have been a dramatically amazing space opera becomes just another more-of-the-same jungle chase movie. The film fails not only as science fiction but also as a drama and an adventure.  Overall, I give this movie a 2 out of 5 for the lack of excitement and surprise it brings to me.
