In 2013, Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith shared the screen together inAfter Earth.The movie was received very badly by the audience since the movie stands at a rating of 4.8/10 on IMDB and 12% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“That was a valuable lesson for me a few years ago with After Earth. That was the most painful failure in my career. I never released that and moved into a mature way of looking at the world and my artistry and love until the failure of ‘After Earth,’ when I had to accept that it’s not a good source of creation.”
In the end, a sequel toAfter Earthwas never made and Will Smith did not follow his political career in the end. The 2013 movie is available to stream on Netflix.
