After Earth New 5 Stars Worth Movie Review

After Earth New 5 Stars Worth Movie Review

After Earth is a new science Fiction movie. It stars Will and Jaden Smith. In the movie, Will Smith’s son plays the son of his character. This movie shows you what Earth is going to look like in a 1000 years. Apparently, in the future, Earth will look like Costa Rica. Most of the movie was filmed in that country. In the plot, one day there was a cataclysmic event. All humans were forced to leave Planet Earth. Without the humans, the place was overrun with animals that had evolved in such a way as to combat human activity. Everything was now hostile to the humans.

Thinking about it, Mother Nature has never been kind to humans. If humans had not developed technology they would not have survived. Are we to live as cavemen, without to fire, to be eaten by lions to preserve Mother Earth? I am simply putting things in perspective. The After Earth movie aims to put things in perspective. It takes up the Environmentalist cause. It shows you a scenario of how Earth will look like a 1000 years into the future.

Seeing the movie over the top, it seems as if they are exaggerating. It makes sense to try to scare people into being eco friendly. However, the evolutionary process of animals tends to take more than 1000 years. Then again, with all the radio activity, it makes sense that animals would mutate into grotesque forms. However, it is more likely that all surface dwellers would die before mutating. 

Overall, the movie is about a father- son relationship. There Will Smith and his son are forced to return to Earth to live the way cavemen used to live. Unlike the cavemen, they have their knowledge and the remnants of old technology to their advantage. They do not need to figure out how to light fire from scratch.

 In the end, it was mankind’s knowledge that helped him rise up in the food chain. After Earth simply shows you what happens to a species that does not have any natural predator to hamper its growth. In any case, After Earth promises to be five stars worthy Eco movie. Frankly, I do not think this movie is going to have any effect.
