The whole crew dies in the crash except dad, whose legs are busted, and Kitai, who’s gonna have to man up if they’re gonna get off this rock. One problem: the ship gets hit by asteroids (a total ripoff of the video game Asteroids) and crash lands on Earth, which was abandoned so long ago that it has been completely reclaimed by nature. I think she means to take some time off, but instead his solution is to assign Kitai to a mission on his ship with him. But seriously guys.Ĭypher Raige’s old lady convinces him that he’s a deadbeat and he needs to spend at least some time with his son instead of always being off somewhere being not afraid of bugs. So his dad is awesome, but I’m not gonna say what his name is because then you’ll never believe me that this is a decent movie.

This technique, Kitai explains in narration, is called “ghosting.” The only thing we have to not ghost is not ghosting itself. Ursas are blind but they can smell pheremones, and dad can chop them up completely unsmelled because he has no fear. This happened after humans polluted earth so bad they had to colonize a place called Nova Prime, then some other aliens invaded using the ursas as attack dogs. There’s alot of pressure on him because his dad (played by real life dad Will Smith) is the Big Willy of the future, the warrior who saved the human race from giant alien bugs called ursas. Jaden “KARATE” KID Smith stars as Kitai, a talented young cadet in some futuristic military outfit, trying to make ranger, but he fails because he’s Too Reckless In the Field. But you know me, I watched it anyway and I’m not unhappy to tell you that it’s not bad. I mean, it has an 11% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes – that’s lower than ALEX CROSS, R.I.P.D., THE SMURFS 2 or the joyfully pre-hated Paul Schrader/Lindsay Lohan collaboration THE CANYONS. Night Shyamalan joint these days, and also it got absolutely terrible reviews. When I kept seeing the trailer last summer, AFTER EARTH didn’t look so hot to me.
