Re: "After Earth" - Trailer (M. Night Shyamalan, Will & Jayden Smith)

It looks pretty cool. I like the father and son acting team, and the accent doesn't bother me.

Re: "After Earth" - Trailer (M. Night Shyamalan, Will & Jayden Smith)

It's probably a good thing that Shyamalan didn't write this one, but the "every thing on this planet has evolved to kill humans" line did remind me of The Happening.

Otherwise, the trailer looks okay, but far less cool visually than the just-released Oblivion trailer, let alone Avatar.

The twist will be that's he's on the other side of the planet where Tom Cruise is.

^ The movies do have a lot in common, don't they? I guess this will be the Armageddon/Deep Impact or Volcano/Dante's Peak or Blade/John Carpenter's Vampires similar movie-same year showdown of 2013.

If Will Smith and his annoying kid start looking fearfully at and then running away from a light breeze at some point, I'm out.

That would be pretty funny, actually.

I wasn't all that impressed by the Oblivion trailer but I definitely see the similarities between the two movies.

I really liked the trailer and I do like Will Smith so I am cautiously optimistic.

It looks like it could be pretty cool, although I found the Oblivion trailer a lot more interesting.

Looks visually stunning at least. Probably a smart move not advertising Night. Last time I saw his name flash onscreen in a trailer, it elicited groans and laughter.

Will Smith's genre choice roles do tend to be fairly good though (I particularly like I, Robot, Hancock, and I am Legend, though all 3 are flawed I found them all very interesting).

Looks like this will be one of the blockbusters The Asylum is aping this year. Their title will be "Alpha Earth" starring... Adrian Paul and Richard Greico?
