13% on Rotten Tomatoes, Shyamalan wasn't quite able to match the 6% he got for The Last Airbender, but he's really trying his damnedest (also, the weekend is only just starting, it may yet drop lower).

I loved the Buffalo News review, which said it was a Lassie film: Will Smith is Timmy, with his son Lassie going off to get help.
Re: After Earth (lol)
I think Jayden Smith is a good actor and hope he can find a way to make his own career and not live in his dad's shadow.
I honestly will see After Earth for the sake of Will and Jayden. I didn't even know Shamylan was directing it 
God loves you!

Sounded like he thought it explored some interesting themes that don't necessarily get touched on very much, but was let down by the shitty direction.

I bet that at some point this was a pretty good script. Then someone renamed it and made a trailer giving away the main twist, then a director came along who couldn't direct traffic and then someone else added shitty CGI.

Re: After Earth (lol)
Yep, I don't think its bad in theory. This should be The Grey meets Pitch Black, the issue is instead of shooting for real in an interesting location they caked the thing in generic looking CG, Will Smith forced Jayden into the role (who has been unlikable and annoying as fuck in everthing I've seen him in), and then Shyamalan came in and directed the actors in his normal personality-sucking way (those line deliveries...what did you do to Will Smith... WHAT DID YOU DO).

Apparently, the original idea was that the movie would take place in the modern day, and would be identical thematically. Instead of a crashed spaceship, it would be a crashed car, in a remote mountain region. I can't even imagine how much better that movie would be.
