After Earth
After Earth is an exciting, and nail biting Sci-Fi movie. It stars actors Will Smith, and his son Jaden Smith. Will Smith’s character, Cypher Raige; is a veteran space soldier. Jaden’s character, Katai is a warrior, who has failed the cadet promotion test. After leaving Earth, because it was polluted. Humans have found a new place to live called Nova Prime. Unfortunately, Nova Prime was already claimed by another species, and they weren’t happy when the humans showed up. So they created predators that would be set out to kill the humans. These predators were called Ursas, who hunt by the smell of fear.
Cypher is known for being able to “ghost” which is fighting ursas without fear. The humans continued to kill ursas. Although, Kitai’s sister was killed by an ursa during an home invasion when he was younger. Cypher regrets being on an assignment when the tragedy happened. When cypher invites Kitai on a mission, as a way to create a better relationship with his son, their ship is damaged in an asteroid storm. Their only option was to land on earth. When they get pulled into earth’s orbit, their ship crashes and splits into two. Cypher and Kitai are the only survivors from the front of the ship. Their help signal is broken, yet there could be a working help signal in the back half of the ship that was 100 kilometers away. They must call for help before they get eaten by the ursa which was on their ship, then set free when it t broke into two pieces .
Kitai must go and recover the help signal because both of cypher’s legs are broken. Kitai only has a double bladed weapon, an environmental suit, basic supplies, and a video-audio system that lets him take directions from his father. Kitai looks at his journey as an opportunity to show his father he is capable enough for promotion. Kitai goes through the wilderness, not used to the earth’s gravitational pull. As Kitai gets closer to the second half of the ship he starts noticing that the ursa is near. When kitai finally reaches the help signal, he runs into the ursa, but has lost signal with his dad. Kitai and the ursa have a heart stopping battle. The turnout of the fight is unexpected.
I recommend this movie because it is adventurous and exciting. The character Kitai, played by Jaden Smith shows determination and bravery. I would give this movie 4 out of 5. The reason I would give this movie a four, is because it doesn’t give any background information as on how the ursas are being created, and who created them. Other than that, you will enjoy the exciting adventure and bond between a father and his son.
