After Earth Synopsis

After Earth is M.Night Shyamalan's next project ,starring father-son duo Will & Jaden Smith.The movie set for release in 2013 ,has revealed its synopsis.Take a look.

“In After Earth, one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai (played by Jaden Smith). When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father is injured in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.”

The concept looks good and i personally feel it to be some sort of sequel to Will Smith's I Am Legend (very similar settings).Shyamalan has been having a rough patch , his last couple of movies flopping heavily and tarnishing his name ,but can After Earth rescue it ? The only reason anyone will be watching it will be solely because of Will Smith's presence.
