Saw this today. 3/5. There were a few scenes towards the beginning that didn't need to be in the film, and the exposition was pretty light. Visuals were pretty but lacked a consistent feel of reality, though a few fit in well with the scene. While I understood the plot, I wasn't clear on the message of the film.
There are two other films with a similar sort of "After Earth" set up coming out (After Earth and Elysium), which I am looking forward to.
Your thoughts?

I liked it quite a bit (I'll say 4 out of 5), but I don't know that it had any message. Nor needed to--it was just entertainment, really. I suppose you could argue the message lies in the distinction between him questioning the status quo and his partner's blind obedience. Take whatever you want from that.
