"After Earth" a new film from M. Night Shyamalan

[Antonio Torrente]

I know what your thinking, after M. Night destroyed The Last Airbender he should not be allowed to make movies or be involved in making movies because the attachment of his name to any film will make it a sure flop, Devil anyone.

Personally I thought M. Night Shabamalamadingdong shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the Director's Chair (or even Author's chair, for that matter) for pretty much everything he's done thus far.

The Village was crap.
Signs was crap (Seriously? Aliens whose faces melt off if they get splashed by water invade a planet covered 70% in the stuff? That means you could adequately protect your home by leaving the fucking lawn springlers on and waving a garden hose at the aliens.)
The Happening.

I didn't even see Air Bender (not a big fan of the series to begin with), but I'm sure he crapped all over that as well, and I've little doubt this movie will be crap as well.

As proof that Will Smith =/= greatness, he's going to be in an upcoming sequel to Independence Day.

Not to say that, for its time, the first Independence Day wasn't a good movie. But making a sequel to it?

>.> yeah...

I'm still wondering what his patented mandatory twist ending will be in this movie.

Turns out the Earth depicted in the movie is Earth in the year 2015.

At least it won't be as bad as Mass Effect 3 right? right?

Imagine if he does a trillogy of Mass Effect films and his ending to 3 is fucking brilliant?
I would laugh till I die.

Now that would be a fucking miracle.
And if he ever does that, not only does he resurrects his reputation but also give ME series the respect it lost.
But let's face the truth, it will only happen in a dream world or an alternate universe.

Will Smith has one good film to date: Independence Day. His son has connections because of his dad, not due to genuine talent. Can't honestly say I care about either of them.

Given the fact that it does cast Willie Style in it makes me want to see it even less. There are many others these tangible roles could have gone to. Will Smith is a one dimensional mess of a leading man, IS the same character in every movie, displays no heroic traits or protagonist credibility... do I really need to say more?

It's... him.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

It's a Gary Whitta script, and Shamalamadingdong is said to have 'rewritten' it, so I seriously doubt he's done messing up yet.

You know, I really like 6th sense, saw it at the Metreon in SF and was able to enjoy it despite a vomiting Mischa Barton, the loud-mouthed caveman idiots sitting behind us and the constant whiffs of buttered pop corn and hot dog smells. I also got Unbreakable, because I enjoyed parts of that one. He completely lost me after that.

 

[Savo]

He desperately needs to go back to those twist ending movies he used to make. His quality has steadily dropped over the years, but he was by far at his best when he relied on twist endings to carry the movies. The man needs to concentrate on making more movies like Devil, not going off into sci-fi.

This looks mediocre, I doubt it will be any good unless there is something the premise isn't telling us.

Isn't that what somehow contribute to the downhill of quality on his films?
The mandatory twist ending in almost all his movies.

To an extent, but that wasn't all of it. His films just aren't that great in any respect. The twist ending at least made them amusing to watch because of the curiosity created by wondering what twist he's come up with this time to cap off the film. It was a gimmick, but a somewhat entertaining one.

Didn't literally everyone in the world instantly figure out who the devil was as soon as they saw all the characters?

I didn't predict the plot twist right off the bat, but it wasn't that surprising when it happened. Devil's twist ending wasn't that great, but the majority of the film showed a marked improvement over the bullshit he had been making for years before.

You realize he started to suck long before he gave up the twist endings right?

Yep, pretty much. He was better back then, but his writing just got worse and worse, twist ending or not. I was thinking about all the films I have seen by him and came to the realization that every single film that I have seen by him has been worse than the last one. (with the exception of Devil)

lol yeah probably right, the twist at the end will most likely be that Shepard was insane this whole time and the year is 1992.

 

[manaman]

I can guess the ending already...

They discover that earth is in fact another planet, and it's not earth after all.

I'm, going with the twist being that the world is fine and this is just a reality TV show filmed in the ruins of Australia.

 

[Ghonzor]

I can guess the ending already...

My vote is they were on Earth the whole time.

OR, it's Earth, but in the past!

DUN DUN DUN!

If they find the Statue of Liberty half-buried I will hunt M. Night down and slap him with a pool noodle.

For some reason that makes sense, if you're Shyamalan.

 

[Antonio Torrente]

The main problem is that while he is a shitty director and should just stop making movies, he's still very successful.

Last Airbender was generally agreed to be the worst movie of 2010, but it also made over double it's budget. Though, perhaps after a while people will clue in that despite the hype, his movies suck, so they should stop pushing him out there.

You do realize that movie executives and movie producers have different mentality than ordinary people right?

They could do smart things like giving the green light to make The Marvel Cinematic Universe
and went to full retard mode by green-lighting Devil with Shyamalan's name attached to the title.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

After he destroyed--

Wait wait wait WAIT, now i think M. Night is a failure of a director whose career should have died after Signs, but lets get one thing clear: Avatar: The Last Airbender ALWAYS sucked, the movie would have failed even if you got Stanley Kubric to direct it.

Okay, that said, After Earth brings up nasty flashbacks of a bad sci-fi i watched while younger called Titan A.E and i won't be watching it.

Hey, don't diss Titan A.E. It was well acted and parts of the animation were phenomenal. Too bad that Fox didn't know whether to market to kids or to teens, and it ended up fucking over both Don Bluth and Fox's animation department.

Actually, I was thinking that M. Night Shyamalan directed "The Village", one of my all time favorite movies. And I was also thinking that I really enjoyed "Devil". M. Night is a director I will follow to the ends of the Earth (though I have not seen "The Last Airbender" simply because I don't care for the show).

OT: Anyway, I'll probably end up seeing this, not only because of M. Night, but because I also like Will Smith. Plus, the plot seems decent enough.

I am not hoping this movie to fail and its nice to see that MNS will finally regain him credibility as a respected director.

But given his tract record after TSS and Unbreakable, I am not that optimistic that he can do it.

 

[Syntax Error]

WHAT A TWIST!!

Maybe make it such that this time, the twist is that there are no twists? Like an UNTWIST!

 

[Chunga the Great]

They are on Nova Prime in the future.

"You blew it up! Damn you, damn you all to Hell!"

 

[KeyMaster45]

I can guess the ending already...

They discover that earth is in fact another planet, and it's not earth after all.

Pfft, not twisty enough. They realize that somehow the asteroid storm didn't just knock them off course it knocked them into the future. The strange planet they've landed on is in fact the future Nova Prime after a similar cataclysm befell it.
