After Earth

New Will Smith vehicle.  Man and son crash-land on Earth, 1,000 years after humans abandoned it.  (Hey, call it the sequel to Oblivion!)

It's Shyamalan though so it could suck terribly.

1000 years to re-evolve saber-tooth tigers?

TWIST ENDING! THEY ARE IN THE PAST, NOT THE FUTURE!

[Ironwood]

[Evildrider]

It's Shyamalan the twist is the trailer is acutally the movie.

[Pennilenko]

It's Shyamalan though so it could will suck terribly.

That looks about right.

[Venkman]

Ugh, looks terrible.

[Fordel]

Does Will Smith ever age?

[Merusk]

Does Will Smith ever age?

No.  Dick Clark passed his Quickening on to him to protect it from Seacrest.

[Pennilenko]

You made me blow soda through my nose. I hate you.

[RhyssaFireheart]

No.  Dick Clark passed his Quickening on to him to protect it from Seacrest.

Oh, I was going to go with the painting in the closet theory, but I like your answer better.

[Merusk]

   My work here is done.

That's exactly what I thought.

If it wasn't ShamalamaTWISTDONG and Will Smith's kid, I might be interested.

EDIT: Because was and wasn't aren't the same thing.

[Soln]

twist: father or son is dead, or father is son in past, or something dead brain in vat. 

[angry.bob]

I sincerly hope that Jayden and Willow Smith go full on Whitney Houston and die while Will Smith and what's her name are still alive. Neither of those kids should have a show business career. Also, that just looked stupid and boring. Like Outlander but with trees instead of Vikings.

[Pennilenko]

Why the hate for the dude's children?

[Lakov_Sanite]

Karate kid remake.

[Shannow]

twist is the film won't suck balls?

[Ironwood]

I liked the Karate Kid Remake.

[Lakov_Sanite]

I liked the Karate Kid Remake.

Except it wasn't fucking karate.

[DraconianOne]

Except it wasn't fucking karate.

Bovvered? I liked it too - more than the original.

[Ironwood]

Quite :  My liking it was entirely by using the benchmark of 'Hey, remember how the original sucked balls' coupled with 'Jackie Chan - He's Fucking Awesome'.

I didn't think the Smith clone was that bad. 

[Lakov_Sanite]

It was a shameless grab at a fanbase and sense of nostalgia to make a buck.  It had nothing to do with the original beyond "kid gets bullied, fights back" which could be nearly any movie.  What's next, Roots: Starring Hugh Grant?

[Big Gulp]

What's next, Roots: Starring Hugh Grant?

I would see that!

"Your name is Toby!"

[Lakov_Sanite]

"Well, actually you see that is not entirely correct, my given name is actually uh, Kunta Kinte"

[Khaldun]

"Oh, I see, you would like me to use, uh, the name Toby instead. Sorry, sorry, didn't understand that at first. Um, is that something you normally ask of people? I, uh, I, uh, just want to get some sense of what's, um, a guest here ought to be doing. Toby, is it, then. Right. Well, I, uh, frightfully sorry about this, really I am, but I think, if you don't--if you don't--that is, mind, I'd just as soon be Kunta Kinte. Sorry!"

[Shannow]

Gold.

[naum]

I don't think Will Smith is any better an actor than his kids. He plays the same character, regardless the movie, with the same exact expressions and vocal incantation style no matter the movie --  be it Independence Day or Pursuit of Happyness. I think his career apex was Fresh Prince days, yet he continues to rake in superstar loot as primo megastar actor and now director/producer.

And fuck him especially for the travesty that was *I Robot*.

[Surlyboi]

You probably haven't seen "Where the Day Takes You" (admittedly, a small part) or "Six Degrees of Separation", then.

[Teleku]

Eh, I like Will Smith, and this movie looks OK.  I really don't get how every animal on earth could have evolved into human hating murder machines in 1,000 years, but maybe its explained (or part of the twist).  Still, at the very least, it could be a good survival adventure story to watch (nothing amazing mind you).  I agree it has a decent probability of being horrible or really boring due to the name attached to the director, but I saw nothing in that trailer that made me hate it.

Why would a spacesuit be designed with glider wings? That bothered me.

[Sir T]

Will Smiths performance in "I, Robot" was enjoyable and solid. Its not his fault that the story didn't make a lick of sense and was a total screw around from the book.

The number of "superstar" actors that are not playing the same effective character in every movie is an extremely small list. And even the ones with the skill/range to play something different end up doing similar things in each character. Some of the "best" actors are hacks who play the same character 99% of the time.

Spacesuits don't necessarily have to be designed strictly for vacuum.

[Lakov_Sanite]

I just get a very star trek technomagic vibe which oddly enough I only accept in the trek universe.

Also do we see will smith get blown out of the ship in the wreck in the beginning? I am thinking he actually dies in that scene nd any other scene they are together is a flashback, does the trailer actually show will on the planet in the present?
