THOUGH THE SIX SENSE fascinated me, it was Unbreakable that taught me to trust M. Night Shyamalan.   It was the first few seconds when text about comic books played at the beginning of Shyamalan’s second major movie that I was sucked in, and I’ve yet to be fully liberated from the movie-maker’s grasp (good try, The Last Airbender).

So Shyamalan and friends have released the first trailer for his next movie, After Earth.  It’s interesting: whatever “twists” one might imagine are resolved before the trailer’s end. Which is fine.  I’m curious to see what Shyamalan does with this, a movie written by others with a sensibility a little different than much of his early work. Check it out while, like me, you’re waiting for The Hobbit.
