Wednesday Movie Night: After Earth (2013)

Guess what? I'm not going to hate After Earth. The action/adventure was enjoyable to watch, the scenery is pretty, and it is well shot. The actors also do a good job despite a story line that is a little weak. The plot is the weakest part of the whole movie because it's trying too much. You also have odd accents that the actors try their best with, but if you're seeing either of these actors for the first time you just think they are bad actors.

Summary: Kitai is distant from his father after an incident in their families' past has put them apart. To try to bond with his son and make his more prepared to be a range he takes him on a mission with him, but when their ship crashes on abandoned earth, it is up to Kitai to get him and his father, Cypher, help. Kitai though still struggles with feeling weak from his past, but with the help of his dad he is empowered to take on the task of signaling them for help. He will have to battle what now lives on earth and also be on the watch for a monster that has possibly escaped earth.
