![]() Let me put it this way, if I were to say which two films of his that After Earth most closely resembled, it would be The Happening and The Last Airbender. He once made interesting movies but has quickly devolved into becoming a director studios know to hide from their marketing materials because of the general audience reaction to seeing his name on a project all because he’s apparently become allergic to making good films. After Earth also manages to avoid much in the way of originality but fails to at least cover the entertaining part and instead has managed to suffer from the M. Oblivion is flawed by its director creating a passable piece of entertainment but devoid of any original thought. (Oh, but please read on, I want to bash this film some more.) Comparing the two, I’d watch Tom Cruise’s sci-fi pic another billion times before even thinking of seeing this again. Now that I’ve seen both movies in their entirety, I could not have been more wrong. In my most recent Soapbox, I equated After Earth as being essentially the same thematically as another science fiction film from earlier this year, Oblivion.
