After Earth - Good Bad or Bad Bad #84

[@fizzplease6742]

Ohh that's why it's called "ursa", because in the original "stuck in the woods after a car crash" idea they would've had an actual bear.

[@SCARFACE9511]

I still wished at the end of the movie the son goes to the father, and he Salutes him. The Father seeing this see's that he has become cold and empty like him, so the FATHER goes up to him and hugs him, and doesn't want his son to grow up like him, empty. So he then realizes that his son having emotions is what still makes him human.

[@anikmonette2140]

Wow... Sometimes I wish writers would stoop as low as to read comments. That might just help them comprehend what they did wrong! I'm on the verge of tears because I would relate to your story. And because someone I love did something crappy to me(it will resolve I know but right I want to strangle her very slowly!) 😑

[@FireKAT91]

@@anikmonette2140 As a writer, I often dread reading comments because a lot of people like to go full-on attack mode... But I read them anyway because I'm a masochist, lol. But seriously, I think that ending would've been so much better! I know a lot of people are well known for listening to their fans, and I think it is important to find out what they would like to see. It shows that you care about actually making your work enjoyable for them. And like you, I would also like to strangle a couple people who did something crappy to me. But they're both self-centered and have been so for years. We never talk so its best if I let it go.

SCARFACE9511 that’s a WAY better ending

[@scarface987686]

That seems way more damn heart warming and a better message for the movie and Will Smith actually showing he loves his son than being a robot about it

[@anikmonette2140]

@@FireKAT91 I'm slowly getting over it but she's still gonna have a piece of my mind! 😇 Also have an idea that no one had(probably): Cypher Raige gradually reconnects with his emotions during the course of the movie and at the end learns that he has nothing to fear about showing his human side. That he became emotionless because he couldn't let the fear resurface and and endanger his familly and people? Because as it is I don't get why he's so stoic: fear is one of many emotions and here the purpose of Raige's very cold behaviour isn't explored, like at all! Oh, and I totally get being turned off by the comment section, but if you don't put your hands in the crap you won't find those special gold nuggets that can make you regain faith in humanity... (That's a tad exaggerated I concur but I do not 100% cynical today!)😊

I agree, that he was becoming good with the non-verbal stuff ... Either way he should not have been thrust into this lead role - especially playing this strange a character.

They have spaceships that can travel interstellar, but they don't have robotic prosthetic legs. Jaden's character can't breathe Earth's atmosphere even though there's green vegetation everywhere and there's also blue skies. Creatures on Earth have evolved to kill us, even though we haven't been on Earth for over 1000 years. The movie thinks that evolution is only 1000 years, but it can take up to a million years.

[@anikmonette2140]

Not to mention the usefulness of fear in our evolution. Sure, if fear is suddenly unhelpful in our near future against an Ursa that would call for a quick adaptation but saying fear is always a choice is the most preposterous thing ever! But Shyamalan sucks at Science, nothing's new under the sun!

[@OttoVonGarfield]

To be fair, there is a way they could have made the atmosphere thing make sense: Instead of it being any kind of lack of oxygen or what-not, establish that it's because there's too much oxygen in the air. Too much oxygen will kill a human just as dead as a lack of it. Establish that the goo he has to huff makes sure that he doesn't get too much oxygen by coating his lungs in an absorbent.

[@kurtstallings]

[@GioTheVax]

You know what I think would have been a great touch? So Will Smith's legs are super broken and mangled, what if they got infected and in Will Smith's performance ue gave the impression that he was getting sick as the movie progressed, and towards the end there's the possibility of him dying and for the first time in the movie, he feels fear. He becomes afraid of dying stranded on a hostile planet, leaving his adolescent son alone without guidance, and that could bring so much to the table.

[@frederickshaibani5655]

Absolutely. That would be kinda brilliant tbh. But then again, you're talking about an M Night Shyamalan film. No human emotion allowed!

[@anikmonette2140]

I thought that it's where it was going at first, because when he does the artery bypass in those conditions I was 100% sure it would infect(it does keep the blood flowing so the tissues won't die while keeping said blood from escaping his body) but it seemed really risky. I was sure septic shoc was the next step and with the high fever and all I was hoping to see him breaking down a little... But Shyamalan sucks at science. He should stick to supernatural shit: he's way better at it than Science Fiction!

[@DresdenShuffle]

It's ShamalamaDingDong though, he's had one good plot twist in all of his movies and that basically sums him up as a director. Kinda expected this movie to be shit when I saw who the director was lol

Ursa gets distracted by this new fear. Jayden uses the distraction to stab the Ursa. (The weakened beast launges at Will who punches it and says:"Welcome to After Earth".) Bonding moment. The characters become a little more human instead of both becoming robots.

Yeah, it should have stayed the real-life survival story. We can clearly see that in the setting and the encounters with the animals but the addition of the Ursas and the 'animals evolved to kill humans' when they have NOT been around humans for centuries just doesn't work.

[@ihugkittens484]

While I was watching this movie years ago I came up with a solution to this URSA problem: 1) Dig giant holes. 2) Put giant spikes at the bottom. 3) Smear fear pheromones over spikes. 4) Go about your business and come back in a few days to clean off URSA bodies and smear spikes again.

Nah, put a gun on a drone, kill all ursas standing there, not noticing the drone. WHY the fuck would aliens make a predator that's deaf, blind and dumb totally eludes me. Oh way, it's so Will Smith could show how awesome he is. Suuuree....

[@annika3265]

Everyone complains that Cypher Rage's character swallows all charisma from a Will Smith performance, when he tells the story of his first ghosting and his reaction to seeing the sun shining through his blood in the water was 'wow, that's really pretty' it atually got me thinking about a what if scenario: to combat the fact the ursa smell fear humans soldiers are taught and trained to *like* violence, so everytime they are facing down an ursa they are supposed to relish the fight as a way to push down any fear they might have, instead of being stoic and calculative they are hotblooded and daring. Just think about the ramifications such a thing would have in their society, like people being desynthisized to violence from an early age, maybe have a scene of a child watching some super violent educational program on their version of TV and laughing at it while the parents nod aprovingly in the background, maybe we would see Kitai go through some actually traumatazing training as way to justify the line 'in the classroom you are an outstanding ranger but in the field you collapse', he has the knowledge of how to fight but inflicting pain on a living creature is difficult to him. He could be that way because of his sister's influence, instead of just paying lip service maybe the sister reading Moby Dick was actually frowned upon by people cause the book has some ideological ideas that don't match their society on top of having a fairly obvious 'Save the earth' aesop, and also Cypher's catalyst to become the best Ursa killer could be that he's using his rage (heh) of having his daughter killed by one of the Ursa to overcloud his fear of them while he fights and that creates a rift between him and his son cause Kitai not only hid from a fight but instead of getting angry at the ursa he would be mostly sad and gained a deeply ingrained fear of them from watching his sister getting killed, since the mother says in the movie Kitai is a sensitive kid and he even gives up being a ranger by the end of the movie it would make more sense for Kitai's character to want to work through his feelings of sadness with his family while Cypher just wants to push his own sadness down along with his fear using anger. Then when they land on earth Cypher is constantly pushing Kitai to be more fearless and violent, but it would become clear as time goes by that's not the way to go, the monkey encounter would be a good way to illustrate that, Kitai only starts to be more focused when Cypher begins showing fear for Kitai's safety and that he cares about how Kitai feels, first about the whole crashlanding thing and then near the end about the sister's death, but as Kitai gets near the ursa Cypher would become restless again cause he already lost one kid to it and his remaining kid would have to face it while he's killometers away without being able to help, I just think that accomplishing things *despite* being scared is a better message than just "don't be scared ever". This whole rant began cause the line 'wow, that's really pretty' made me think Cypher was a bloodthirsty sociopath instead of the stoic human weapon they wanted me think to he was and I realised a military dad showing his fear to his son and FOR his son would have made a much better story but I apologize profusely for how long this ended up being XD

[@TajFaerie]

I love to see Will Smith stretching himself in terms of acting range at a time when many actors can just stick with what works. It's not bad to find your niche (quite the opposite) but variety is the spice of life for an artist. I also really want to see the kind of actor Jaden would've been if that's where his passions actually lay (it's clear now that music is his true love) and he got roles that had nothing to do with his dad, producing, writing, directing or acting in the film. I feel like he would have eventually reached Daniel Radcliffe's level where he does weird roles that have no connection to each other but his skills improve monumentally with each one and we're always excited for what he'll do next. However....both Will & Jaden should've known this wasn't going to work. Some ideas are great and were eventually worked into better films. For ex, the futuristic tech that is inspired by or built around the agriculture or the culture of the actors = Black Panther. But so much of this script is screaming, "THIS ISN'T AS COOL AS YOU THINK IT IS!". The better version of this movie would've kept it in the real world. Will Smith is either an army vet or the chief of police and his obvious CPTSD is causing emotional constipation that his son (played by a more seasoned actor. Sorry Jaden. Maybe you can be the older son who gets murdered early on like the sister in this version) interprets this as coldness or disinterest. The plot continues as normal with at least 30% of the fat cut. Jaden learns how to be hard/cunning in a dire situation instead of moping, while retaining his kind heart, and the experience forces Will into counseling for his CPTSD so he can be more loving with his fam. I made myself sad because that's not the movie we got.

[@eventhorizon]

On the facebook page I had said when this was announced, and I'll stand by it- this movie really expected too much from Jaden. He's fine as an actor I'm sure, and I agree there are parts in this when I noticed that, but another youtuber put it, I think it was FanBoyFlicks- that you have one of the most charismatic men in cinematic history playing everything flat and steady, and you have the teenager who, in real life, wants to come across as cool trying to do all these over emotional scenes, and then you give him an accent to struggle with. And I'm adding... If he was able to not have to think of that accent, I think he would have been able to give a more consistent performance, add to it that his first real, starring role he's pretty much carrying the entire movie? Yeah, his dad was "in scenes" with him, but not physically in the scene, the kid had nobody to act across from. They made a big deal with Tom Hanks and Will Smith being in movies where it's just them carrying it... and Jaden got that first major speaking role out. (He was in Pursuit of Happiness when he was really little right?) I just feel there was no way for him, with his limited experience, to have a fair shot of showing whatever acting chops he has, the expectations were way too high, and that isn't his fault, I'm not taking a jab at him.

NO ADULT punching a kid in the face can be considered proper, onscreen or anywhere - all the more in our post-Oscar slap ('administered' by Will Smith himself) era!

[@themoviedealers]

I think I'm gonna go ahead and make a zero-budget movie on Will Smith's original idea. Father-Son conflict meets man vs. nature. If you want a log line, it's "The Revenant" meets "The Godfather."

Fight them with drones and you won't have to worry about being detected...

[@JesseReviews]

Adding to the scene of Katai nearly passing out and then blacking out from the lack of oxygen, the fucking eagle should have popped out of nowhere and cracked a pod into his mouth.

[@Fereyen]

No one else gonna mention that during the bit where Will Smith is talking about how broken his legs are, all we saw was a bit of blood on Jaden's hand while his legs and pants were PRISTINE?

LOL - Bad Bad for sure. I worked on it. *shrug*

Really? What did you do?

@@anikmonette2140 captured mocap for some of the the shots like the Arial wingsuit sequence and the greenscreen hangar sequence

Dude I love Lawrence! It’s an awesome band!

59:29. That's probably the hardest I've laughed in a while.

[@Cinsavant]

I wonder if this movie was made DELIBERATELY bad by will Smith so Jaden would stop acting

[@markiangooley]

Even the Swiss army took the concept only as far as a knife. But that kind of works.

[@Horrormaster13]

A movie so BAD that it killed Jaden Smith's career as an actor.

[@analystzorncasteel3047]

- Before it even started.

[@anikmonette2140]

At the begining I think the word you're looking for is "organic". Edit: Now that you mentionned putting a sword on a drone... Why Jaden didn't pick one of them and put the beacon on it? Press the goddam button, tie it on the damn thing and let your father fly it somewhere a signal can reach!

[@v.m.9198]

Say what you what you will, but this movie captures the real frustration of playing an online coop videogame with lag and bad tutorials.

[@LilyoftheLake14]

I just looked it up and the character in this that's played by Tormund Giantsbane (the actors name is Kristofer Hivju) is credited as "Security Chief," on imdb, for After Earth. His character doesn't even have a name lol. I actually had no idea that Tormund was in this, even though I've seen the clip of him screwing with Jayden a few times, and even when you showed that clip and mentioned it was him, I still didn't fully recognize him until I pulled up his imdb and played the clip next to a picture of him as Tormund, only then could I see it. Without his wild red hair and bushy red beard it's almost impossible for me to recognize him lmao. I mean, I recognized him when he was in The Thing (2011) because he had his bushy red beard and wild red hair. He was also speaking with a similar accent to his as Tormund in The Thing (2011). In After Earth, he's speaking with the dumb speech impediment accent which makes it even harder lol.

[@LindsayWashburn]

It sounds like they are doing a bad mid-Atlantic accent with a flat affect.

[@analystzorncasteel3047]

... Maybe. .. Whatever it is it's horrible.

[@danstiver9135]

Jaden Smith has the most obnoxious voice I've ever heard... I couldn't even get 15 minutes into Neo Yokio

[@ladedade23Blunticus]

You dont deserve a giant toblerone bar.

[@OrangeElixir]

That combined with his pained fart face made me cringe.

[@tomservo5007]

the only show to give their verdict on the movie in the first 3 mins of a 1hr video. p.s I think it's fine, it frees up brain cycles trying to guess which way you are going to go and just enjoy the show more)

[@avnis4149]

Will Smith tried hard to turn rock into a diamond but without all that effort we wouldn't have got this amazingly funny movie.
