‘After Earth’

by Kaori Shoji

Director: M. Night Shyamalan

Language: English

Will Smith pairs up with his son Jaden in this provocative sci-fi thriller that didn’t quite live up to box-office expectations. In the year 2025, humans make the Earth inhabitable and flee to a planet called Nova Prime. A millennium later, emotionless commander Cypher Raige (Will Smith) takes his son Kitai (Jaden Smith) on a mission that goes awry and the pair find themselves stranded on humanity’s old planet. Nice father-son thing going on.
