After Earth
One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind's new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai.

Glad to have @austinwalker.bsky.social joining us for this one for reasons that become obvious in the first few minutes. Mediaclub.plus or your podcast app!

He always gives excellent art direction, and in this case we were going for a look inspired by anemones, polyps, and gorgonocephalids.

unlabelledView post →68. After Earth (movie, 2013) What's that, son? You're scared because a rabid mutant hyena is chasing you? Have you considered that fear is just a construct and is not real? Doesn't that make you feel better? God, I'm such a good dad.
unlabelledView post →After Earth (2013) starring Will and Jaden Smith. My wife's water broke during the screening and that got us out of the theatre early. Nice timing by our daughter, as she clearly had enough of that movie!
unlabelledView post →After Earth-4/10 This is a ps3 game movie.
unlabelledView post →There are some lines to skip, like getting a part in a movie without having to audition because your parents are either also in the movie or know someone. Like Jaden getting cast on After Earth which both his parents were producers on.

unlabelledView post →After Earth (2013) I haven't watched a bad movie in a while and saw this was on Netflix. The best way to describe this whole movie is that it feels like a PS3 game that was meant to be only a tech demo but was made into a full game despite them not planning anything else. Make that as you will
unlabelledView post →And yeah, I'm not joking. BvS' flopping numbers were because of how bad (quality-wise) the film turned out after the first weekend. Pretty much an After Earth effect where public interest waned fast.
unlabelledView post →I think its so funny how much people dislike After Earth even among m night shamalan defenders when like.... I honestly really enjoy that movie and it's made me cry a bit each time I watched it, like, am I the crazy one??
unlabelledView post →Tonight @danaenight.bsky.social turned to me, dead-eyed serious, and said, "There's this movie called Titan After Earth...."

unlabelledView post →Since we're talking budgets, I'm always impressed how much worse Shyamalan gets as the budget grows. Give him 8M and he makes a tight movie that works like The Visit. Give him 200M and we get After Earth.
unlabelledView post →After Earth - and I really don't even want to get into everything that pissed me off about that movie, but I'm still so mad I paid money to see that miserable pile of dreck, and I've had almost 15 years to move from it but I can't
unlabelledView post →Just watched “After Earth”, the Will Smith movie that got so much hate. Interesting concept, but I think Shyamalan was the wrong director for it, probably wrong writer, too. It could have been a lot better, but it also wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
unlabelledView post →I am deeply saddened by the passing of Peter David. What he wrote is now so much part of culture both comics and cinema that his passing is a major loss. Here is a report of a talk I went to back in 2013 where he talked comics and AFTER EARTH www.unseenfilms.net/2013/06/a-ni...
unlabelledView post →It's sad that Star Wars needed over 9 films. And dozens of shows to tell a story After Earth, only needed one film to achieve perfection
unlabelledView post →“Danger is very real, but fear is a choice,” Will Smith said in the Sci-fi movie, “After Earth.” Donald Trump's election win poses an existential threat to Black people, LGBTQIA+ people, women, immigrants, democracy, Et. al. Smith’s line forces us to face reality and fight or capitulate. #iowa
unlabelledView post →it's his most pretentious film by far. i think it getting roasted is what finally killed the mystique he had. he went from the hottest director in town to being kept off marketing materials for After Earth in like a decade. it's fascinating
unlabelledView post →Definitely the kind of bad take I expect from a middle aged white British guy. Wait... he co-wrote that After Earth movie?!

unlabelledView post →TBH I feel same about After Earth which I don't think is flawless movie but like so much of the hatred just feels like people wanting to enact some kind of personal revenge on the director. Like there are so many far worse blockbusters that have gotten off lighter www.metacritic.com/movie/after-...
unlabelledView post →This week on the Bad Movie Roast... Korey, Martin and Billy look back at the time Will Smith tried to make a star vehicle for his talentless nepobaby... and hired the absolute worst director to do so as AFTER EARTH gets Double Toasted!

I think I delivered a package... to my future self. The new After Earth Arcade short film is live. youtu.be/yTkBnYwv9kY

unlabelledView post →I think "Danger is real; fear is a choice" /is/ from After Earth. Easy to confuse, though, since indeed, it's a good line that deserved a better movie.
unlabelledView post →Somebody on TikTok called the new “War of the Worlds” movie with Ice Cube, “FRIDAY AFTER EARTH”
unlabelledView post →(Part 2)—“That is near insanity. Danger is VERY real, but fear is a Choice—We are all telling ourselves a story” Quote from movie: “After Earth”(2013). ( Will Smith and son Jayden Smith.) Relevant to what’s happening at moment. Hope it helps someone. I will try to put it into action every day
unlabelledView post →After Earth might be the worst movie I've ever watched in its entirety
unlabelledView post →Will wasn't bad in After Earth the movie was just stupid
unlabelledView post →One of my favorite bad movie quotes is from Will Smith in After Earth, on a planet full of monsters: “Danger is very real, but fear is a choice.” What's your choice? www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ2h... #motivation
unlabelledView post →My ★½ review of After Earth on Letterboxd boxd.it/8r2Fmt
unlabelledView post →After Earth was a decent movie
unlabelledView post →Can’t believe known Ang Lee appreciator Crystal didn’t even float Gemini Man as one of the Smiths Though I would understand the argument that much like After Earth, it would count for two Smiths And that’s before you even factor in the frames. Most Smithful movie ever made.

The Line Up: ▪︎Focus (2015) Netflix ▪︎Bright (2017) Netflix ▪︎After Earth (2013) Max ▪︎Independence Day (1996) Max ▪︎Any of the Bad Boys (Netflix) This is shaping up to be a cozy Friday night. #MovieNight
unlabelledView post →The Will and Jaden Smith movie, After Earth.
unlabelledView post →Yeah, I'll give you "After Earth" but after reading Will Smith's insane memoir, which has some stuff in there about how Will ruined that movie I kind of find it fascinating too
unlabelledView post →Great film by M Night. Man is a roll after After Earth. Edge of seat grounded thriller where you bob your head to catchy diegetic pop songs. Harnett is great as a serial killer and hopefully this continues with him getting more roles. 📽️
unlabelledView post →After Earth kept burning up Moby Dick and the whole time I was thinking, “But it doesn’t synch up with the plot of this movie at all.”Moby Dick’s most basic interpretation is that you can’t get revenge on an animal. After Earth’s is, “Oh, sure you can.”
unlabelledView post →Worst movie you've ever seen in a theatre: Toss up really. After Earth was an interminable piece of shit. Will Smith with no personality and his nepo-son unable to act his way out of a CGI set. Dario Argento's Giallo was possibly worse but was so cringingly bad it was unintentionally hilarious.
unlabelledView post →Ok, so. "65" was an OK movie. It felt like they were going for a "Pitch Black" and "After Earth" mashup a bit. Also I didn't like that the dinos showcased ranged from the late triassic to the late cretaceous periods
unlabelledView post →I liked Trap. It was a fun movie. After Earth is fucking awful though.
unlabelledView post →to this day I think it's still After Earth, that Jaden and Will Smith movie. it's got absolutely nothing going for it, by the end we were laughing at the movie having no stakes while in the theater
unlabelledView post →After Earth. I got tricked into not knowing it was a M. Night Shyma-llama-ding-dong movie until it was too late.
unlabelledView post →After Earth. I left to use the bathroom during the climax of the movie and didn't care in the slightest.
unlabelledView post →This is basically how I got conned into seeing After Earth 😭 (The entire theater busting out laughing when the credits rolled and hit us with “DIRECTED BY M NIGHT SHYAMALAN” improved the overall experience quite a bit but still an awful movie to have spent real money to see)
unlabelledView post →Went to watch After Earth with friends and went to the bathroom in the middle of the movie and just didn't go back in
unlabelledView post →Just one more film to complete Shyamalan's filmography—but at what cost? AFTER EARTH takes one of the biggest action stars, breaks his leg & demotes him to Guy in Chair. Then it asks viewers to believe Jaden Smith has trouble not expressing emotion for 90 mins. Ridiculous writing w/decent effects 1*
unlabelledView post →It is a bit... incoherent. But still, it's better than After Earth. I don't think Shyamalan could make a worse film than that if he tried.
unlabelledView post →Bright is definitely the most tasteless and actively just being offensive for no reason at parts Gemini Man is a cool sci-fi B-movie idea ruined by CGI-ing everything instead of doing anything clever with any scene After Earth is written by and co-stars his son and that's the only reason that […]
unlabelledView post →Trying to decide if After Earth, Gemini Man, or Bright is the worst Will Smith movie
unlabelledView post →He seemed like he was on a rocket trajectory... and then he did... that Bob Dylan movie which I still don't get why he did that... maybe he's a fan? Now he just seems like Will Smith when he was doing After Earth.
unlabelledView post →For me personally After Earth is the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater. Will Smith. his son. 2013. something something sci fi. You don't need to know anything more.
