So, the critics give it a 14 percent fresh rating (it hasn't opened yet so the Audience score is meaningless).
Some great comments by the critics:
Not since John Travolta kicked the tires on Battlefield Earth and pronounced it good to go has there been a big-name flameout as disastrous as this.
Every bit as bad as you'd fear of a movie from the writer of 'The Book of Eli' and the director of 'The Last Airbender.' Where are the guys from Mystery Science Theater when you need them?
The only value in watching it is to see an expensive disaster slowly unfold.
M. Night Shyamalan is branching out, coming up with new ways to make bad movies. His plan must be to exhaust all possibilities, so as to eventually come full circle and make a good one by accident.
The level to which 'After Earth' is a catastrophe is amazing.
After Earth merits comparison with 2000's Battlefield Earth, John Travolta's godawful film tribute to the sci-fi novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Yes, it's that bad.
Syfy must be so happy they green lighted Shamalongadingdongs pilot.
