Sounds like another propaganda movie to make Al Gore more than the $300 million he has now.

One thing I notice from many of the apocalypse type futuristic movies, with decimated cities, desserts, hoards of barbarians, etc. — they usually are driving cars from the 60s and 70s.

It is amazing how many of those old vehicles survived.

“After Earth” depicts a future in which humanity is forced to abandon Earth in search of a new home.”

It is called Judgement Day. The ULTIMATE REALTOR, GOD ALMIGHTY, will determine each person’s eternal home based upon his/her reationship to JESUS CHRIST.

Yup, it stars Obama ass kisser Will Smith. I don’t care if humanity leaves earth as long as liberals are wiped out.

Dystopian “Earth is Doomed” Science Fiction goes back a long long way.

I’m just going by the description of the film. Will Smith’s character says everything on Earth evolved to kill man. Sounds like the same idea as in The Happening - nature responds to man’s oppressive presence by killing him.
