Naaman Marshall Art Director. Robert W. Joseph Art Director. Dean Wolcott Art Director. Rosemary Brandenburg Set Decoration. View All Critic Reviews Jun 22, What was a pretty cool idea from M. Was supposed to convey struggle but then strong bond between father and son really got lost in translation of sci-fi action and you really can't dig your way out of it by the end.

Good special effects though. Jaden Smith is definitely not on the same level of his father as far as acting talent is concerned. Patrick W Super Reviewer. Jul 30, To make matters worse, the emergency beacon is in the other half of the spaceship, several days hike across a hazardous planet full of things that want to eat them.

That becomes increasingly necessary considering Cypher suffered a compound fracture in the crash which even 30th century medicine has no quick fix for. And that big alien thingie they were giving a ride to might still be alive and waiting for Kitai out there. Even if "The " had not cornered the market on post-apocalyptic generational and parental issues, there would still be little reason to recommend "After Earth.

Yes, yes, we get it. Kitai really needs to prove himself to his father. But at the same time, you don't have to travel half way across the galaxy to find an emotionally remote father.

All of which makes for a waste of perfectly fine production design. Walter M Super Reviewer. Sep 05, Just bad in every way that a film can be.

Marcus W Super Reviewer. Sep 02, Not as bad as many who made out it was. There are certain sci-fi elements within this film I thought worked well along with the visual approach and effort.

However this particular film is not without its incredible flaws; hardly enough drama compensate dull storytelling and unlikable characters, not even enough conveniences within the plot points redeem the film much. Overall this is a mediocre film worth watching only for its action, effects, and visual appeal. Luke E Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.

It is the second film after The Pursuit of Happyness that stars real-life father and son Will and Jaden Smith; Will Smith also produced via his company Overbrook Entertainment, and the distribution was by Columbia Pictures.

The film takes place in the 31st Century, when the Earth has long been abandoned and humans have been in conflict with a mysterious alien race. It tells the story of a high-ranking general in the peacekeeping organization Ranger Corps, and his son, who, after an incident during a spaceflight, find themselves fighting for survival on a hostile planet which is Earth itself.

In the 21st century, an environmental cataclysm forces the human race to abandon Earth and to settle on a new world, Nova Prime. One thousand years later, the Ranger Corps, a peacekeeping organization commanded by General Cypher Raige, comes into conflict with the S'krell, alien creatures who intend to conquer Nova Prime. Their secret weapons are the Ursas, large predatory creatures that hunt by "sensing" fear.

The Rangers struggle against the Ursas until Cypher learns how to completely suppress his fear, a technique called "ghosting. Meanwhile, Cypher's son Kitai Raige blames himself for the death of his sister Senshi at the hands of an Ursa. Kitai trains to become a Ranger like Cypher, but his application is rejected due to his recklessness, and Cypher views him as a disappointment. Kitai's mother Faia convinces Cypher to take Kitai on his last voyage before retirement. During their flight, however, an asteroid shower forces their spaceship to crash-land on the now-quarantined Earth, near erstwhile CentralAmerica.

Both of Cypher's legs are broken, and the main emergency rescue beacon damaged. Cypher instructs Kitai to locate the tail section of the ship, which broke off on entry to the atmosphere. Inside is the backup beacon which they can use to signal Nova Prime. Cypher gives Kitai his weapon, a wrist communicator, and six capsules of a fluid that enhances the oxygen intake so he can breathe in Earth's low-oxygen atmosphere. Cypher warns him to avoid the highly evolved fauna and flora, and to beware of violent thermal shifts.

Kitai leaves to find the tail section, with Cypher guiding him through the communicator. Giant baboons attack Kitai, and during his escape a poisonous leech bites him.
