Will is set with a perpetual grim look on his face while Jaden is, by turn, angry and scared; yet, the father son duo looks good on screen. Jaden’s reactions quite match the audiences when he is fighting off predators or running for his life. ‘After Earth’ is an emotional film, and we see a young boy’s yearning to feel closer with his father and earn his respect.[break]
The film is replete with adventure in the form of aggressive animals, sky diving and a precarious journey to the other end of the ship. It has enough startling moments without any nudging from blatant 3D effects. The heavy dialogues, the illusions, the fact that the journey doesn’t tackle the question of food are the weak points in this otherwise fast paced thrilling film.
Screening at QFX Cinemas.
