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).

In that hostile environment only artificial drones are alive to protect the Earth from possible aliens' comebacks. Drones and a couple dozens of people maintaining them are only the Earth population now, while the mission aimed to extract all the valuable resources left is in progress. Jack Harper is one of the "lucky ones" that has been left on Earth to secure the mission. His duty to repair drones and he is doing that job for many years. His only hobby is to read "old books" that has been written before the alien invasion. Jack's duty was about to be completed when he witnesses a starship crash and hurries to rescue possible survivors. He manages to save the life of beautiful woman, Julia, who seems to be familiar with him. However Jack doesn't know her and rests assured the he never met her.

It's absolutely fatuously to list here all the ensemble cast of Movie 43. It will be enough said that such a Hollywood megastars as Halle Berry, Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Anna Faris, Chloë Grace Moretz, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts and Kate Winslet are playing in the Movie 43. Not yet convinced? Gerard Butler, Jimmy Bennett, Richard Gere, Hugh Jackman and Jason Sudeikis are starring in the film too. It's not a joke, there are more than 40 high paid celebs are contributing Peter Farrelly's Movie 43. How is it possible, you say? Just imagine New Year's Eve-alike movie, but filled full of vulgar jokes. Just for example Hugh Jackman (Les Misérables, Rise of the Guardians, X-Men: First Class, Real Steel) is playing a dude with genitals located exactly under his chin, while Richard Gere (Arbitrage, The Double, Pretty Woman) alongside with Kate Bosworth (Homefront, Big Sur, Another Happy Day) heroine learning about i-Babe device helping couples to keep devotion and not to cheat on each other. By the way Gerard Butler (Dynamo, Thunder Run, Hunter Killer, Olympus Has Fallen) plays Chaun, who is nothing but ribald Leprechaun.
