Monkey
brain assembles group of contrasting thugs to fight to the death in an
abandoned factory.
The story
is garbage and appropriately heavily relaxing. It absolutely has no meanings and no
extraordinary character interaction. The old guys and the hotties are the pearls
on this wench.
Acting is pretty
much uniformly lacklustre, with all the hyperperspiring characters, some who
don’t mind letting another man’s blood dry on their lips, delivering nothing
more than awkward gawps and grimaces interspersed with spastic-like quivers of discomfort.
Only watch
if you want to see a constant and consistent series of fight and kill scenes. There
are some awesome moves on display here and it’s all pretty well shot. If you
liked the Ong Bak chain….

Will and
Jayden go facing formidable beasts, finding their future and sightseeing on an
alien Earth. The cast’s performances are surprisingly accomplished, Lil’ Jayden
is brilliant, believable and heart wrenching, even more commendable considering
the undeniably hard task he was given.
Will
Smith’s story is nuanced, beautiful and clearly metaphorical however it’s often
delivered with tired pacing and absent tension. A skilful and classical
soundtrack, enthralling action sequences and serious tone serve to remedy its
slow parts.
Incredible
shots and scenery despite some artistic yet uninspired and somewhat cheap n' lazy
design work. The film certainly has a unique aesthetic but it is one that
you’ll only like if you try..
Just
imagine it featured a Japanese cast, the film would be a cult classic. Looking
utterly fantastic when viewed in high quality, the deep After Earth is
something for all types of viewers to enjoy more than once.
