Peter Travers Rolling Stone

The young Smith has energy, but not the acting chops. And he's no miracle worker. The burden of carrying this dull, lifeless movie is just too much. And it's hell on an audience. It's not a good sign when you sit there thinking – Make. It. Stop. show more

Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle

Jaden is not ready for his solo spotlight, and the film is the same action over and over. Another bad movie from Shyamalan. show more

Claudia Puig USA Today

Though it's meant to be pulse-pounding, After Earth is a lethargic slog. show more
