Of course, we are referring to ‘After Earth’, a film that, when it was announced, was shaping up to be a box office success, since it features the leading role of Will Smith and Jaden Smith, in a story directed by nothing less than M. Night Shyamalan, in addition, it presents a plot loaded with science fiction, with touches of drama and action.
