Yes I know, I WILL get to the Red Dawn (2012) Review...but I saw two films recently, and I have to get these flicks off of my chest...

After Earth is a 2013 American science fiction adventure drama film directed by M. Night Shyamalan that he cowrote with Gary Whitta based on an original story idea by Will Smith, about a military father and son crash landed on Earth one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity to abandon it for a new home planet.

The teenage son must save his dying father by trekking alone across the hostile terrain, encountering highly evolved creatures and a ruthless alien beast along the way, to recover their rescue beacon and also prove that he can live up to his father's reputation as a legendary soldier.

It is the second film since The Pursuit of Happyness that stars reallife father and son Will and Jaden Smith, with Will Smith also producing via his company Overbrook Entertainment and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

The film is available on IMAX and is the first film from Sony Pictures to be both shot and presented in 4K resolution.
