After Earth

A sci-fi story, directed by M. Night Shayamalan, puts real life father and son, Will Smith and Jaden Smith, in a quest that will be either life or death for the family. It takes place over 1,000 years from now, and tells the story of father and son, Cypher and Kitai Raige who get crash-landed on what had been Earth, and must venture through their worst fears to get to a beacon that will save their lives. The special effects were okay, and the plot was okay as well. What mostly stood out in this film was the acting. The acting was a bit different than what we would normally suspect. Altogether it was an okay film. Some critics say it is the first bombed film of the summer, others say the opposite. My rating of the film is in the middle of those two. I give this film a 6/10.
