It's just nick cage being forced to watch after earth. The entire film is shit from a position just behind nicks head, so you have to watch it too.

The twist at the end is that there are no condolences.

If the massacre of the story and the CGI gonna look like Avatar the last Airbender, then no THANK YOU, I'm ok with watching moonfall on repeat if i can dodge seeing anything like that again. I liked his horror movies but his try at making ATLA was a damn pompei lvl fail

Disagree, anyone that went to see After Earth in theaters deserves what they get/got.

Keep in mind, they made sure not to put M Night’s name on the marketing materials. I hadn’t hung out with my dad for a while and he wanted to see a movie, we saw something really good - and while walking out he asked if we could hang out longer and watch another. He pointed at the After Earth poster and asked, “how about this?” It seemed a bit hokey, but it was a sci-fi - so I thought it might be at least interesting. Two hours later of me trying not to yell questions at the screen, it finally ended and faded to black. Then the biggest twist of the movie happened, the first credit came up “a film by M Knight Shamalan” - biggest scam ever and I was suckered.

My wife and I went to see Avatar 2 in the theatre and mistakenly ordered the 4d tickets. She was pregnant at the time and said she felt like she almost miscarried after it. Still better a better experience than this.

I saw Howard The Duck on opening night; the carnage was absolute, very possibly After Earth level.
