'After Earth' - - Worst of the Year

108.81.116.219

Billy Wonka

Unfortunately, I did not check out the credits on this before I sauntered into the theater. If I had noticed that M. Night Shamalamaranman (the one hit wonder) had made this I would have never entertained the idea of buying a ticket. It was a stretch to see if after suffering 'Oblivion' knowing that all wrecked-Earth-space movies are basically the same. Smith obviously agreed to do this so his son could get his start in the business.

I found this to be a truly inferior script with completely lifeless characters. I am surprised M. Night is still allowed to make films and am hoping someone yanks his writer/director license soon.

...and having no desire to, I can only guess but here's my take:

Will Smith absolutely LOVES to talk about himself and his thoughts on life-philosophy/child-rearing/etc. This will serve as a two-hour lesson on how to be a father in a challenging world. Was there anything that carried a Scientology scent?
Actually, I think it's mostly Smith's baby - DFaulds 11:41:44 06/11/13 (1)
I believe it's his story that the screenplay was created from and according to what Smith stated he was intricately involved in the direction as well.
- RE: Actually, I think it's mostly Smith's baby -- that's a shame..... - Billy Wonka 21:22:08 06/11/13 (0)
  So there are two to blame for it. I should not have pressed my luck after 'Oblivion'
