Description

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is a 2002 epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson, based on the second volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Lord of the Rings." The story follows the divided fellowship's journey, with Frodo and Sam's attempt to destroy the One Ring, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's efforts to rescue the hobbits Merry and Pippin from the clutches of the evil wizard Saruman. The film's ensemble cast includes Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, and Sean Astin.

The Two Towers picks up where "The Fellowship of the Ring" left off, as Frodo, Sam, and Gollum continue their journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli track Merry and Pippin's trail into the Fangorn Forest, where they meet the Ent Treebeard, who convinces them to fight against Saruman's forces. The forces of the wizard Saruman and the Dark Lord Sauron are on the rise, and the battle between good and evil is escalating.

The film received critical acclaim and was a box-office success, grossing over $950 million worldwide. It was praised for its direction, cinematography, performances, special effects, and music. The Two Towers was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won two for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects. It remains one of the most iconic and influential fantasy films of all time and helped establish Peter Jackson as a visionary filmmaker in the genre.

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Last Airbender) filmed by Columbia Pictures in 2012 this movie hits the screens in 2013. After Earth follows an exciting story written by Gary Whitta about a father and a son survived a starship crash on a distant inhabited planet. Cypher Raige is a recognized hero of many wars, a legendary general who heads his spacecraft to the distant realms, convoying recently captured fierce alien creature. He travels with his son, Kitai Raige, inexperienced 13-years-old boy who gets his initial knowledge about space voyages. Unfortunately, a technical malfunction triggers a chain of events that lead to emergency landing on hostile planet. The only hope for deathly injured father and his son is to find and activate SOS beacon before Cypher Raige dies. Bad news: their radars indicate that the beacon is located on the other side of the planet and ocean of impassable jungles infested with bloodthirsty animals and furious alien that escaped the spaceship during the crash are the only obstacle between 13-years old Kitai and the hope to save their lives. Seriously wounded Cypher can't move, but he tries to help his son to overcome the fear by couching him distantly. The only thing is left at his disposal is to convince Kitai, that in contradistinction to dreadful monsters his fear is not real. That means that Kitai has to forget the fear and concentrate on the real dangers: ravenous creatures and virulent environment of the hostile planet. By the way it's Earth. Yes, it's our home planet that was abandoned by humans almost 1000 years ago due to the catastrophic event that wiped out majority of the species. Since that time new kinds of giant animal took the place of extincted ones and now they dominate the Earth. It's strange and suspicious that we know so much about the movie's story, taking in consideration that After Earth was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, so you have to expect some unpredictable plot twists. Another fact to enjoy is the ensemble cast: there are two leading characters - the father and the son, and they are the real father and son Will and Jaden Smith. Yes, this is the Will Smith (Men in Black franchise, Wild Wild West and I, Legend) and his son Jaden Smith (The Karate Kid, The Day the Earth Stood Still).
