After Earth [2 Discs] [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2013]

A pretty nice story about the survival of the human race and how earth can change overtime.

Awesome movie with cool special affects that keep your eyes glued on the screen for all the action

Super Fantastic movie for the whole family, two thumbs way up.

I was really excited for this movie when the preview hit theaters. I don't know if it's because I had high expectations or if it was the guy behind us kicking our seats but the movie wasn't all I had hoped it to be. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good movie, it just...could've been better. Still, for the right price I thought it was worth owning for repeat viewings. This package includes a DVD, so I can share it with my mom. Also, it's mastered in 4k, so I can't wait to see how good it looks once I have a compatible TV. The digital ultraviolet is always nice to have, too.

This movie got slaughtered by critics upon release, but the reality is the movie's not that bad. When it was released I think that public perseption of both Will Smith and M. Night was negative, and this reflected on the film's perception as a whole. The truth is this is a cool and orignal sci-fi film, a rarity among all the remakes and sequels of the day. It's really a film about a father and son coping with the loss of a daughter and sibling. The father and son are then thrown into a dangerous situation and must find a way to survive and seek aid. Along the way they bridge the gulf that was created by their mutual loss of a family member. The movie also offers a creative look at an Earth that has been free of humans for thousands of years. New speicies of animals and plants have evolved and the planet is now a death-trap for humans. The special effects are solid. The Blu-ray is top notch for sound and video. I haven't really explored the special features.

There is something very nice about a Father and Son making films together that it is hard to dislike After Earth. I am caught up into the M. Night hoopla (I love his movies) and expected a twist ending but this one is just a straight forward mainstream adventure flick. One of the final scenes between father and son was near brilliant and almost brought tears to my eyes. The special effects were very well done.

This got a LOT of negative reviews when it came out, I think cause many people hate Will Smith's son for some reason. But the story is good, I feel. I found it enjoyable and entertaining! But I get if you dislike certain actors, it takes away from liking a movie fully

Great resource to exemplify the impact of work on a relationship between a father and son and the importance of maintaining the relationship which requires a constant growth and the difficulty in trying to catch up. In this case love was the catalyst and key to the survival and rebuilding of this relationship where each had to examine their inner selves first.
