When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.

What groups of people would like to watch this movie?

      Teenagers.

      This is because the movie is adventures and full of imagination. Kitai Range fights with ursa. Then, he must survive at the polluted earth which lacks of oxygen. The story is happened at the planet that little bit different from the lifestyle of human in the earth. Their lifestyle in the new planet is very modern where they have high technology compared to the lifestyle of people in the earth.

What spoilers would ruin this movie if you told your readers about it?

      The spoiler that would ruin this movie, if i told the readers about it is the moment when the spaceship landed in a crash. Only Katai and his father were found to stay alive. Kitai search around the ship and found lots of corpses. The moment he looked around would make the audience hoping on finding someone to be alive. However, none was found.

           

Why you like the movie?

       I like the movie so much because the main character Kitai is a teenager. He showed us the challenges that he had to face in order to save himself and his dad. The love is so great and made him succeed to save themselves. I felt motivated because a teenager can have courage to overcome the fear and beat ursa down.

What rating would you give for this movie?

I would give 4 out of 5 stars because it amazed me.

What is the title of review of the movie, After Earth?

Danger is real, fear is a choice.

            

What are the lessons that be learnt through this movie?

    What we learnt from the movie is we have to face all the upcoming problems, not run from them. Nothing will be solved if we keep running from those problems and fear to face them. Furthermore, we have to appreciate our family and keep on supporting each other because family members are the closest people in our lives. Without them, we might be lost and felt alone, thus got no courage to face anything. Last, we must not give up in our life , keep on fighting to chase our dreams.
