Full reviewShyamalan is clearly a director-for-hire here, his disinterest palpable from first frame to last.
Full reviewJaden Smith takes centre stage in a futuristic rites of passager that plays like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone. Although "Oblivion" narrowly remains this summer’s better ruined-Earth actioner.
Full reviewWhat undoes the film is its rather rancid parent-child sentimentality (a Shyamalan staple, admittedly) and a charisma-free performance from the younger Smith that suggests the apple has fallen very far from the tree.
Full reviewHe's done it again. M Night Shyamalan has done it again. Again. Done it. Again.
Full reviewThere is no small irony that this sci-fi action adventure is about surviving a serious crash. The scorched earth left behind by "After Earth" is sure to leave a scar on everyone involved.
Full reviewThe disappointingly generic film, which strands a father and son on Earth a thousand years after a planet-wide evacuation, will leave genre audiences pining for the more Terra-centric conceits of "Oblivion," not to mention countless other future-set films that find novelty in making familiar surroundings threatening.
Full reviewPrepare to cringe and snicker whenever the characters are talking, but gasp when Shyamalan just shows amazing stuff.
Full reviewAfter Earth is available to stream in Australia now on Google Play and Apple TV and Foxtel and Binge and Prime Video Store.
