There was a time when an M. Night Shyamalan-directed film was a real event. From The Sixth Sense through Unbreakable and even Signs, his gifts for suspense and surprise were such that he was earning comparisons to Spielberg and Hitchcock. That was a long time and many films ago. The sci-fi thriller After Earth, starring Will Smith and son Jaden, is a film without wit or sparkle. At times the special effects look so cheesy you wonder if they're going to pull back and show members of the crew rocking the ship or working the strings on puppets. In the meantime, we keep getting heavy-handed metaphors about overcoming fear, and unbearably clunky dialogue. This movie is "Take Your Kid to Work Day" to the extreme. - One star
