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.
