"After Earth" Reviews: Critics are slamming and tearing apart "After Earth," the Will Smith science-fiction adventure that appears to have been made for the sole purpose of convincing the world that son Jaden Smith is dad's A-list equivalent. One critic even said the film may cause dorwiness." Glad that the kid who has everything can't have a good movie!

Not all the reviews are in for "After Earth" so the consensus could tilt in a more favorable direction, but as of Thursday morning, "After Earth" had scored a doleful 13 percent "rotten" rating on the critics aggregator Rotten Tomato. If you aren't familiar with Rotten Tomatoes, 13% is very very low; a real film flop that will be the butt of every late night joke.

"After Earth" opens on Friday and is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, "The Sixth Sense" auteur whose once-promising career was derailed with critical flops like "Lady in the Water." It finds father and son as a pair of futuristic space travelers who crash land on an abandoned Earth.

It seems critics despised Jaden Smith's acting, as he only can deliver one look of expression on him face. The likable Will Smith's character is too subdued to enjoy his role. But I will let the movie experts explain just how much the disliked "After Earth."

The New York Post's Lou Lumenick said the on-screen adventure is so soporific it should come with a "drowsiness" warning. In a one-star evisceration, Lumenick took a shiv to everything from the Smith's choice of Southern accents to its delusions of franchise-dom. Shyamalan's lackluster direction also did not escape his incisive assessment.

"Eleven years and several progressively more dreadful movies after 'Signs,' director M. Night Shyamalan would be lucky to get a gig directing traffic," Lumenick wrote. "His work on this reported $150 million vanity project manages to generate no suspense or excitement. Only yawns."

Scott Foundas of Variety predicted that "After Earth" will have a rough time drawing a crowd despite Smith's box-office power. In the acting contest between father and son, Foundas found himself siding with the younger member of the Smith clan.

"Donning an impermeable tough-guy facade, and hovering on the edge of consciousness for much of the running time, the senior Smith gives one of the least substantive performances of his career, while the undeniably charismatic Jaden toggles between two primary modes of expression: paralyzing fear and simmering rage," Foundas wrote.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram critic Cary wrote:

"Sorry, Dad," Darling wrote. "Looks like you're going to have to keep working for a while. And if you want to give Jaden something special next year, why not just settle for a nice party?"

That's not to say everyone hated on "After Earth." Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune wasn't abusing the superlatives, but he argued that the film was competently executed.

"'After Earth' won't change your world, but it's attractive ('Airbender' looked like pure crud) and Smith the Elder, lowering his voice to subterranean James Earl Jones levels, delivers a shrewd minimalist performance," Phillips wrote. "His son may get there yet."

Oof...way harsh. So the kid who has everything can't have EVERYTHING! Come on, aren't you a little relieved?
