The journey is a metaphor for Kitai’s maturity, so why couldn’t they have had Cypher not break his legs and join the journey and be the protective father for the first half before slowly unlocking his emotions through worry for his son and this worry becomes fear when Kitai encounters the Ursa and that unlocks his invisibility to the Ursa meaning they can sense him and that forces Kitai to be the hero and save Cypher. It’s just a long journey without much excitement or surprises. Kitai then walks around a bit, he encounters some monkeys and snakes and other animals, then has a bit of an argument with Cypher before losing contact and coming face-to-face with an Ursa (by the way, Ursas hunt by fear they are blind and attack when they sense fear in humans Cypher Rage is one of the few people on Nova Prime who is emotionless, meaning he can fight the Ursas as they can’t see him). The back of the ship, which broke off and landed 100km away, has another and Kitai must travel on his own, with an Ursa (an alien creature they have had to fight on their new home, Nova Prime) on the loose and a planet which has evolved to do anything to kill any and all humans. After they crash land and Kitai and Cypher are the only survivors (rather convenient that a father and son are the only survivors on a crash landing), Cypher reveals he’s broken both of his legs and the communication device doesn’t work. But After Earth was not the film to send him on this journey, instead it landed him a Razzie Award (as well as one for Will Smith) in acting and marked the lowest ebb of Shyamalan’s career.įor one, the film is just so boring. Stepping out of his father’s shadow (Cypher Rage is a hugely successful soldier and Kitai failed his initiation) into the spotlight on all fronts. and writer!Īs noted, Jaden Smith’s leading role could have propelled his acting career, his character’s journey and his own real-life journey from childhood into adulthood. So much could have been done with this (and so much was planned as a universe was an idea at one point), but they then made the decision to hire M. Hundreds, if not thousands, of years later, though, Cypher Rage (Will Smith, Bright), takes his son Kitai (Jaden Smith) on a journey that sees them crash landing on an uninhabited-by-man planet Earth. Jaden Smith was a rising actor back in 2013 and his parents, wanting to give him that starring role that will set him off, both produced After Earth a film where humanity’s actions were so bad humans had to flee Earth for a new planetary home.
