AFTER EARTH - "Not Even Worth During After Hours "


Sci-Fi movies are a Fanstasy movie follower's Eye candy , The Holy Grail of Epic adventures and Graphics where anything is possible beyond the Stars. The Greatest Example been the Star Wars Saga which gave birth to whole generation of Movie Buffs across generations and Borders . But like every Great Hero even Sci fi movies have their epic Failures . After Earth is one Huge failure For the Sci-Fi genre . This movie had build up a lot of expectations especially due to its star cast in the Form of Will Smith whose got a number of Good Sci-Fi films under his belt like Independence Day and Men in Black Series. Teaming up with him is none other than his Son Jaden smith and Directed by once acclaimed Director M. Night Shyamalan . 

Here's A short Synopsis for the Movie -
A crash landing leaves Kitai Raige and his father Cypher stranded on Earth, a millennium after events forced humanity's escape. With Cypher injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help.


If you look at the Trailer for the movie , it promises to be a Good mixture of I am Legend + 10.000 BC + Apocalypto . But it fails at every point of the movie to bring out any Form of special treats , the other movies brought out . Neither Does the Director or the Script Utilize Will Smith's acting Talent by Landing him one of the worst movie Roles he has got in a long time . While Father is limited to a minuscule performance , The son who is the protagonist of the movie Fails to live up to his father's acting talents. Even in scenes of Great Despair , the movie fails to connect with the audience and ultimately ends up giving you no lasting memories. Every Sci-Fi movie usaully promises to be a Visual Treat with every Director Throwing in the Special 3-D treatment to make the Deal sweater, M. Night Shyamalan  Due to his arrogance or ignorance fails to do both as he refuses any form of 3-D entertainment nor a proper introduction to this "After Earth". Even the Climax scene fails to impress as the Antagonist in the form of An alien Being called Ursa is unable to create the Fear element on which the Alien movie series has Survived.

Audience Recommended to - Die hard Will smith fans, Sci-fi Nerds, Jobless youth and ofcourse Couples out for a Date ;) 

Theater seen from - PVS cinemas Calicut 

Movie rating -
Imdb - 4.8 
Movie Buff confession- 3/10 

Final Confession-
This is one movie which i truly hope i had skipped during the weekend, I am only Grateful i had a friend along so i could joke about the pace of the movie . I am going for 3/10 For a very poor AFTER EARTH. After All M. Night shyamalan doesn't  seem to be worth even for After Hours these days .......
