"After Earth". Actors - father and son

The fantastic thriller of the director M. Knight Shyamalan "After our era" (actors: W. Smith, D. Smith, S. Okonedo, Z. Kravitz, G. Morshauer, K. Hiviju) is striking in its scope.

Trying to rehabilitate yourself

Indian director M. Night Shyamalan knows well what a triumph: in 1999 his "Sixth Sense" blew up the tabloids of popularity. After that, the maestro created three more successful projects that combined his purely author's style - acute psychologism against the background of the narrative's narration, slightly flavored with mysticism. After that, luck left the director - three of his paintings were a failure. Therefore, the film "After our era" (the actors realized the position of the director, agreeing to participate in the shootings) became for the director the last attempt to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of film critics and spectators. In this work from the stylistics only the slowness is recognizable, there is a small part of psychology, but there is no mysticism.

Home video of the Smith family

One gets the impression that Shyamalan has set himself a single task - to show the audience the process of growing up, turning a boy into a man. The film "After Our Era" is popularly described as a movie with Will Smith and his son Jaden about Will Smith and his son Jaden. Although critics note the similarity of the structure of the film with the film "The Last inch", shot by the work of James Aldridge.

$ 130,000,000

The budget of the film strikes its size - $ 130 million. This is in view of the fact that, apart from individual episodes in the beginning and finals, only two actors were involved in the film "After Our Era." Actors who played the main roles, the family of the Smiths, and devastated the budget of the film, asking for royalties. Other assumptions are not present, after all the fantastic insurgent has been removed on Sony F65 - a standard digital camera. But with all the external simplicity, the picture turned out to be rather instructive.

Plot

After a global cataclysm, humanity leaves the devastated planet. But one day, a landing, a crashed space ship lands on its surface. Only two survive - an experienced and intrepid general, who has broken both his legs and his teenager son. It is he who, under the remote control of his father, will have to overcome a hundred kilometers along the terrain, which is teeming with various caliber predators, to reach the torn tail of the aircraft. The thing is that there was a transmitter left, with the help of this device the boy will be able to send a distress signal if he does not interfere with the monster the spacecraft was carrying.

Touching duet of father and son

Will Smith became famous as a hero of action-pictures with decent comic talent, but this time he appears before the audience in the hypostasis of a very serious dramatic character, performing the function of GPS. The main burden falls on the still not strengthened shoulders of his son, Smith, Jr.. Jayden Smith shows an excellent physical form, but his acting skills are limping, he is replaying, then he is not playing. His character seems emotionally unstable. But not annoying, as in the movie "Karate-boy." Nevertheless, their family duo was named one of the most touching in the history of the world film industry. Acting skills Smith-senior does not make any claims.

Summary

The film "After our era" is different in that the scriptwriter M. Night Shyamalan surprised the viewer with the absence of an unexpected climax. However, the script of the film caused a lot of criticism. However, the weak scenario recently is considered a sad scourge of projects of the modern film industry. If you throw out all the science fiction terms uttered by Will's hero, like "extensions of the mass fraction of gravitons", then the dialogues between the main characters are more similar to the lessons of life, will be similar to motivational seminars.

Of course, the aging M. Night Shyamalan shows excessive sentiment at some points, but in general the narrative narrative will keep the beholder in suspense from the beginning to the witty culmination that is stored in the final part of the film "After the era". Actors call the director's move a witty story twist. So if the viewer does not have any allergies to Will Smith and his son, then you can safely recommend the film for viewing.
