Will Smith is one of the most popular and beloved actors of all time, with a huge list of blockbuster movies under his belt. It seems like he really wanted that same future for his son Jaden, because he and his wife handed him a starring role in a big budget M Night Shyamalan movie. Did he live up to the challenge? Um...

After Earth raises lots of questions. Like why did anyone think it was a good idea to have Jaden lead a movie like this? Why have Will Smith in it if he’s going to be stone-faced and emotionless? How did everything on Earth evolve in one thousand years to kill humans, which didn’t even live there anymore? Why would aliens breed monsters specifically to kill humans, but only give them the ability to smell fear? Why did M Night Shyamalan direct this thing?


To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to After Earth! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    “then the bird dies… because of the extreme cold” “which it has not evolved to survive?” “now you’re getting it sir!” “I’m truly… I’m not!”

    I've seen interviews with filmmakers where they talk about not wanting their movie to be skewered by a Pitch Meeting. Ryan, you strike fear into the hearts of those men.
  • @jwatts1980

    "Cold let's you know when it is cold." "And so will this suit."
  • @All.Gravy96
    “Cold let’s you know when it’s cold” That was golden.
  • @Barnowl65
    My first thought when Will Smith says that everything on earth has evolved to kill humans was "But...how? They left the planet so there's no way they could do that!" Glad to know Ryan feels the same.
  • @blueninja5553
    “Pretty sure I just unlocked that guy in Mortal Kombat” 😂
  • @ElhoimCrow
    "Everything has evolved to kill humans" They fell in Australia?
  • Dude you are just Brilliant. This film is riddled with plot holes! You counted over 10!
  • @BeardyBaldyBob
    What absolutely blows my mind is someone read this script... And instead of pishing themselves laughing and immediately throwing it in the shredder, they gave it one hundred and thirty MILLION dollars! 💵😳
