Will Smiff makes a wiff

     After Earth could have been much worse, unfortunately it was tremendously terrible and a rough viewing experience. It was a true shame to see the world's beloved Will Smith in such a boring, and drone role. I wished to take this movie seriously because I remember that the movie had a wonderful ad campaign, now I know this was a ruse. The first problem I had with the film was apparent from the beginning; the costumes were horrendous. Jayden Smith, our hero, wears the same "life suit" through the whole movie, hugging him awkwardly close and looking completely impractical. That was a consistant theme, the sets were equally tacky, they never felt realistic and you could always tell that you were staring at a make believe set.
     Luckily the acting wasn't terrible throughout. Both Will and Jayden had decent performances as far as their acting was concerned. The issue was with the screenplay they were assigned... Utter poopoo. Will Smith's character is stuck within the downed ship throughout the entire film. Not to mention that him and Jayden have some stupid slight accent that was umbelievably forced and pointless. So many aspects let this movie down, at every turn there was another let down. For all of this disappointment I must give it a .375 Smiffs out of 5.
