Film tells about the young man and his father Kitai Raige Cyphe. They are on a space ship and then be crashed and stuck in Earth deserted, where over a millennium ago humans evacuated to avoid the Cataclysm. Cypher seriously injured after the collision so Kitai has to engage by himself in a difficult and dangerous journey to send SOS. During the journey, Kitai faces to the new rulers of the earth with the new ferocious animals. Cypher and Kitai learn how to fight and trust each other for a chance to return home.
After a not very impressive crash sequence, the film settles into a running battle between young Master Smith and a series of CGI monsters, a schema that sounds tiresome, and is.
Like 'Oblivion' before it 'After' says, 'Humans messed up,' but offers meager entertainment, nothing in terms of solutions, and lots of intelligence-insulting pseudo-science.
Most disappointing is the film's lack of ambition, as what could have been a sparky mainstream space opera becomes just another tedious jungle chase movie.
A film in which the text and subtext-an effortlessly gifted father presses his less-talented son to follow in his footsteps-are in perfect alignment. Alas, only in one of the two does the story end happily.
The dialogue is as wooden as the acting, and the plot is just silly. Truly, the only thing the film has going for it are some occasionally cool special effects.
As drama, After Earth offers no surprises; as action, it's rarely stimulating; as a parenting manual, it seems that Will has thrown Jaden into water that's a little too deep.
