Will Smith: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

2. After Earth

M Night Shyamalan has a lot of things he should apologise for, and most of them come from his wayward Blockbuster Period when he started using millions of dollars to ignore everything that had made his smaller films even worthy of note. The straw that broke the camel's back (since he's going back to indies, apparently forever) was this bloated, bland sci-fi with a despicably bad script and some horribly wooden acting from Smith and his real life son. Who definitely hasn't profited from any nepotism. Smith looks bored for most of the film, and confused for the rest of it, like someone who has been impregnated with catastrophic self-awareness just after signing a water tight contract. But at least he might have killed Shyamalan's blockbuster career.
