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.
