First Look: ‘After Earth’

What: “After Earth”

When: Opening Friday

Cast: Will Smith and Jaden Smith

Director: M. Night Shyamalan

The story: Teenager Kitai (Jaden Smith) and his father (Will Smith) crash land on Earth, a thousand years after humanity fled the doomed planet. With his father critically injured, Kitai must fight his way across the terrifying terrain in an attempt to signal for help.

The buzz: Um …. Well …. Let’s just say there’s a reason Sony is doing all it can to hide Shyamalan’s involvement. The early buzz hasn’t been good. At all. But there’s no underestimating Will Smith’s box office appeal.
