After Earth

Started by The Big O5 pages

Just wanted to say again that I am violently against anything Shababalabala does ever since The Last Airbender. Period 😐 So I won't be seeing this either. Again, period.

Considering he has a few really good films under his belt, isn't it a bit early to say this will suck? We've only have a few still pics and a vague story.

Just for the record, I checked: She was born in '91 and the film came out in 2010. So she was totally not 13 when it came out. Like 18 or 19, or something. So nanny-nanny poo-poo.

I'm not saying this movie will suck because that would be premature. I'm just saying that since my feelings were hurt by TLA, I've been completely turned off by this director. That's all.

Give the guy a break about Airbender.
M. Night wanted a 3 movie deal to be loyal to the series but he was only given a one movie deal.
He did the best with what he had.

I did'nt think Airbender was "THAT' bad it was watchable unlike some other movies out there.

The movie was for his son. He cast all those ethnicities so that people wouldn't think he was being a racist, yet people still did. Did any one notice the bad guys were all indian, the villagers were asain and ohn was white? I think that's where he went wrong, the set also looked fake. His other movie the village also sucked, does anyone know any good movies he's made?

Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs.

The six sence, its been said he got the idea from a tv episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark, where a young man has a bad relationship with his mother. His sister is his friend. He starts to see a ghost, this beautyful girl and starts to investigate, he uncovers her grave finally only to find out they were lovers that both died in the same crash. But I believe he copied the theme from a movie called angle heart. As for unbreakable, I could never really understand why samuel L jackson thought he had special powers? Signs was alright I admite. Think that was his only good one, next to six sense

As for after earth. Will smith is not a very good actor. He's just face, he comes across as a snob and I think he likes the sound of his own voice. The only good movie that I thought was clever was, six degrees of seperation. I think he's been tight-cast for after earth? It seems that every movie he does is either about earth or the end of the world. The one, indep day, men blk, hancock,

I have no idea how you can compare The Sixth Sense with Angel Heart...

And Samuel Jackson NEVER thought he had powers...he was the weakling that questioned why life was so unfair to him.

The six sense was all about that moment where he discovered he was dead, angle heart was that moment where he discovered that he was the killer who just coulnt remember.

Needs a facepalm picture in this thread.....

I don't think he was trying to be racist and I hadn't heard about that. He just got so many things wrong with this movie when he had an instruction manual he could've pulled from that was the actual show which aired on Nickelodeon for three years.

He added stuff that didn't work and left some major points and themes out. The majority of the people who went to see this at least knew about the cartoon and were utterly let down when they actually saw the movie. When I went to see the movie there was a little kid there that actually said, "What the heck was that," when the credits started. Everyone in the theater was gravely silent at the end credits. The only thing he barely got right was the special effects.

M. Night does have some good movies under his belt, namely the ones that were brought up already but he been in a slump lately with shlock like The Village, The Lady in the Water, The Happening, The Last Airbender and Devil........

I don't think he was either, I read that some where, he was also asked during an interview.
A cartoon is hard to do in a movie, esp one with superpowers. Look at street fighter or dragon ball.

He has an on and off relationship with movies, guess it has to do with the pressure of being successful.

I re-read that whilst singing "Alice" in my head.

Lady in the water was'nt that bad of a movie and he did'nt do Devil he only wrote it.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed Devil. For what it was. Silly, though it was. It was entertaining. It's been many years since i've seen any of the movies he's directed, though. Unbreakable is supposed to be pretty good, but I hardly remember it.

Maybe it's just me but Lady in the Water was sheer confusion to me. I had no clue what was going on and had a vague sense that it was some sort of grim fairy tale or something like that. And I thought he did more than write Devil but my mistake.
