Why so glad?
I was hoping it'd be good just as a sci-fi fan. After such atrocious reviews, though, I'll definitely be waiting. Looked like it might have some neat visuals at least. I haven't been terribly thrilled with the M. Night movies that I've seen, though, so I certainly wouldn't expect much. Unbreakable is pretty good. I liked The Village at the time. The Last Airbender was f#cking horrible, though.

I am glad because I would hate it if After Earth's success led to that being the formula for success in movies.
Guy becomes famous + hands his son starring roles in movies=Blockbuster.
I would have watched that movie it was another actor and some random kid. Not the Smiths. That just isn't right. NOTHING to do with race.

Yeah, read that too and I don't see it in this film really. Seems like a stretch at best. Also, the Smiths stopped being Scientologist some years back, iirc.
Film was crap. Acting was atrocious, story nothing special and the SFX was mediocre at best. My kids liked it, but they're wee little ones and this movie was aimed at the kid/early teen crowd who doesn't need good acting or a sensible story.
