A new, full-length trailer for this summer's post-apocalyptic father-son action adventure (starring the real-life father-son duo of Will Smith and Jaden Smith) "After Earth" has debuted -- and overall it looks pretty cool.

The trailer gives us a look at Jaden's character, Kitai, a futuristic "Ranger,” along with his father, Cypher, a strict disciplinarian, as the two set out on a mission together. But after their spaceship crashes on the now hostile alien planet known as Earth, Cypher sends Kitai out on a series of increasingly harrowing adventures to try and find a homing beacon in the tail section of their stingray spaceship. Unfortunately for them, evolved animal species now control the planet, ready-made to kill anything that stands in their path.

Overall, the film appears to be filled with nifty set pieces (including an insane-looking "flying squirrel" sequence) and nice visuals, but we're a little turned out by everyone's weird vague accent. Maybe in the future there are new countries and in those countries people speak with Elizabethan lilts? Not really sure.

Also of note: M. Night Shyamalan's name used to be synonymous with clever, twisty genre projects (and utilized in marketing materials as such). However, nowhere on the trailer does his name actually appear. Sorry, Night! We still have hope!

“After Earth” hits theaters everywhere June 7.

• Will Smith Eats Sushi

  That time Will Smith destroyed a plate of sushi on a Japanese game show. (Head to the three-minute mark to wach him slurp up a gigantic piece of shrimp!) Give credit to Will, who does a pretty good job of having a conversation with a group of people who don't speak his language.

• Will Smith Raps About Crossdressers

  Actual lyrics from the 1989 track from DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince: "She was about five foot six or maybe six and a half // With a body like a goddess, man, this girl was bad! ... // Anyway from behind she was fine // But when she turned around, her mustache was bigger than mine // At first I laughed, cause yo, to me that was funny // But the laughter ceased when she said hey <em>[in a male voice]</em> Honey // At first I was confused, I was somewhat spell-bound // My mouth wide open and my chin on the ground // And then it hit me, like a bolt from the sky // I thought: hold up - wait - this girl is a guy"

• Will Smith Races Bill Gates, Beck and Weird Al

  How did they ever get Bill Gates to agree to this?

• Will Smith Gets Food Allergies

  Smith may be considered a "date doctor" in the 2005 comedy, "Hitch," but that didn't stop his character from having an allergic reaction, thereby destroying his beautiful movie star looks. Not even Will Smith can make allergic reactions look good. (Sorry, that's last reference we'll make to that line.)

• Will Smith Raps About the Planet

  This ABC After School Special featured the Fresh Prince rapping about the dangers of polluting: "Every time you put a paint can in a trash can, you take a piece of the world from the next man." (Look out for the Ice-T cameo around 1:50 mark!)

• Will Smith Slaps A Reporter

  It was the slap heard 'round the world! Last week, at the "Men in Black 3" premiere in Moscow, a "reporter" tried to kiss Smith on the mouth. Unfortunately, Will wasn't having any of that and decided to slap him in the face.

• Will Smith On Blossom

  For all you "Blossom" fans out there: In this episode, Blossom encounters a dumbstruck Will Smith (or, more accurately, "The Fresh Prince") in an elevator. She starts screaming, he calms her down, then she starts screaming again. (Smith comes in at the four-minute mark.)

• Will Smith Gets Slimed

  This past April, Will was the latest in a very long line of celebrities to get slimed at the annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. As you can see, hiding behind Justin Bieber didn't do much in the way of keeping him clean.
