It being impossible to really discuss everything that is horrible with the film without saying some very nasty things about the performer, and it being impossible to say nasty things about the performer without feeling like an asshole - even if one of the most privileged, wealthy adolescents in the history of mankind can probably stand up just fine to a few bullying bloggers - I've run smack into a wall.Īfter Earth, as ginned up by God knows how many script doctors from a story originating with the film's producer and co-star Will Smith, takes place an ill-expressed number of hundreds of years in the future, a millennium after humanity was forced to abandon our home planet by a thing, probably to do with environmental catastrophe. But this leaves us at something of an impasse, because Smith is the chief problem with After Earth, a movie that is unrelievedly terrible, but might very well have been simply mediocre with any other lead performance. There's nothing respectable at all about beating up on a 14-year-old in print, and it is the inalienable right of Jaden Smith to be 14 years old, something that most of us were at some point.
