The Nephew's Review of 'After Earth'

Review by Donovan Sylla

Hi, I’m Donovan Sylla and my Uncle Mike took me to “After Earth.”

Three words would have to describe the movie: intense, funny and kind of startling.

I was on the edge of tears of joy at the end. I jumped out of my seat a couple of times.

It was a feel-good movie with a lot of action. I think my friends would like it a lot.
I’m pretty sure that my friends would enjoy it, and girls, if they are tomboys may not mind it, but it’s a little scary. I probably wouldn’t recommend to girls as much as to boys.

It’s a good Father’s Day movie. I can understand that it’s PG-13 completely.You shouldn’t let an 8-year-old go see it. It’s not that bad, but it might scare them.
Mom would probably not like it because she doesn’t like sci-fi. My brother wanted to see it, he’s 17 and I recommend it for him and his friends.

There are a lot of good concepts, like everyone having to evacuate Earth because they were destroying the world. On a different planet they had this weird creature that they were going to use for practice, but they fell into an asteroid storm and only two people survived—Will and Jaden Smith. I liked Jaden in the “Karate Kid” remake, he was very good.

When I got home my heart was still racing. It was good, but don’t see it on a school night.
