Director dials it back in After Earth
Film-Review-After-Ear Hatc4
Jaden Smith appears in a scene from "After Earth."
There is nothing innovative or surprising about “After Earth.” It plays out a simple scenario, tells its story efficiently and doesn’t try to reach beyond the filmmaker’s abilities. That doesn’t sound like high praise, but when the filmmaker in the previous sentence is M. Night Shyamalan, those are very kind words.
