Movie Review: After Earth

Synopsis:  "A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige and his legendary father Cypher stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash." --IMDb

Experience: This was one of the movies on my "must see" list. It's a courageous, adventurous, and thrilling movie. It has of course action, drama, eye catching moments you think you got yourself into as well. It is a bit slow in the beginning, but it builds up in time. The beginning is explanation to what happened to Earth and the reason the movie came to be. Its sad to hear that it didn't do well in the box office, but you can do so much. I saw it as Avatar and Wall-E combined, but frankly I never saw Avatar and what I heard about it.. comes pretty close to it. It's scary to see how the Earth will be, if we don't take care of it the right way and I'm sure it's way out there, but what happened in the movie, could possibly happen in reality.. especially with the environment/atmosphere basically. If you life sci-fi, action, some drama, and adventure in your movie as genres then this movie is for you! A good famous line was said in this movie by Will Smith's character, "Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice". He did go on with this quote a bit more in the movie and I wish there was a way for me to have written it down, 'cause it goes deep and really makes you not have fear with anything. "There's nothing to fear, but fear itself."
