Orientation
With a duration of nearly 90
minutes,After Earth tries to tell you about
many things. Although the main plot of
this flm is how Katai rescue her father
Raige. With the great scene in the movie
and so many adventures of the journey.

Interpretative Recount

The story begin with the human leave the earth to move in another place called
Nova Prime.Unfortunately, the planet was already claimed by another species
that didn't take kindly to the colonists and created predators to kill them. The
predators are called ursas .They hunt by smelling fear.
Started on a thousand years ago,Kitai Rage ( Jaden Smith ) an aspiring warrior
who just failed his cadet promotion test. KitaI feel disappointed because on a
failed test,he cant make her father proud. And to cheer up her son,Cyper Raige
( Will Smith ) invited her son to come with him to the another mission. Her son
very interest on it,and he so happy to hear that.
The mission is to do feld-test with the ursa to the planet called Iphitos. But on a
way the Raiges' ship is damaged in a freak asteroid storm, tossed out of
hyperspace and into Earth's orbit, skims across the atmosphere,and is torn in
two. Cypher and Kitai are the only survivors from the front half. Their distress
beacon has been destroyed in the crash. The ship's back half, which might or
might not contain a working distress beacon, is 100 kilometers away. If the
castaways don't call for help soon, they'll asphyxiate or get eaten by predators,
one of which is an ursa that was cargo on their ship, set free by the
crash.Cypher's legs are broken. Kitai has to make the journey for him. He only
has his trusty "cutlass", and an environmental suit containing basic supplies and
a video-audio system that can let his father guide him from afar.

Evaluation
The visualitation of this flm are so great and the view of the planet
is so interesting to looked. It's not a special effects theme park with
a new slobbering space beast behind every tree trunk, but a fully
imagined ecosystem, a tapestry of flora and fauna. Fern fronds curl
in icy night air. Flocks of birds form patterns in the sky. Carnivorous
baboons, great cats, wild pigs, snakes and condors move like real
animals, and react to threats with intelligence as well as force
The plot on a story is too short ,just tell the viewer about Kitai to
rescue his father Raige. The flm tells its story as Cypher or Kitai
might. Each scene lasts as long as it should, and no longer. The
camera moves with a purpose: to follow and frame and explain
action, conceal or reveal surprises, and deepen the relationship
between the characters and their world.
The flm takes the characters and their feelings seriously, and lets
its actors give strong, simple performances. The younger Smith is a
great male ingenue character, unaffected and kindhearted and free
of vanity.

Evaluative Summation or
Conclusion
To sum up,apart from its weakness this
flm was very satisfactory.
