In the future, Earth becomes inhabitable and mankind moves to Nova Prime. However, aliens try to conquer Nova Prime but are defeated by the Rangers under the command of General Cypher Raige. The aliens bring the predator Ursas to hunt down the humans attracted by their fear and Raige develops the fearless ghosting technique to defeat them. On the same day that Raige returns home, his estranged son Kitai Raige is not advanced to the Ranger position in the academy. Raige promises his wife that he will travel in his last assignment before retirement and she convinces him to bring Kitai with him. When their spacecraft is damaged by an asteroid storm, she crashes on Earth and only Raige and Kitai survive. Raige breaks both legs and Kitai needs to cross the hostile and dangerous planet to retrieve the beacon and save their lives. A crash landing leaves Kitai Raige and his father Cypher stranded on Earth, a millennium after events forced humanity's escape. With Cypher injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help. Before reading this review, I apologize for my bad English, as it solely translated by Google Translate.<br/><br/>I am not agree with most other reviews, and I think 4.9 is too low rating for this movie. If I had to give it a number from 1 to 10, it would probably be somewhere between 6.7 and 7.2.<br/><br/>I have an idea of the film are made only as Will Smith's son to have a career in acting, but it's a way also fine, because for me all about the movie and nothing else. The plot is okay, but not exactly brilliant. The pictures are great, and the point of the movie was good. The intention.<br/><br/>According to myself, I do not think that Jaden played as bad as everyone says. Many of the things he does, and many of the reactions he gets, I can easily put myself in. There is a little "mistakes" here and there, but it did not spoil the illusion (according to me). The reason I give this movie 10 stars, not because I think it deserves 10 stars, it's more because I think that its overall rating is too low. I may disagree with me, but there are many movies that are worse than this, and have much higher rating. This is one of the worse films I have seen this year. I am shocked as I like the directors work and Will Smith was entertaining in other films. *WARNING SPOILERS*<br/><br/>I can go and on about how bad this film is but I will propose the core of the problems.<br/><br/>As you watch this film please note: 1) The use of EARTH has no place. It could have been on any planet. The Earth was entirely studio created and all animals were Computer Graphics. The reference to earth has no role in the film what so ever. There is no big tie in. There is no grand use of Earth. They arrive by accident. There is no government or need to be there. The humans are all "aliens" born out of earth and have no desire to be there. It has no role in a subliminal message or reference to past present or future. It pushes the plot no where. It would have been nice for them to at least reflect at the planet. But they arrive, kill an alien and leave never to look back.<br/><br/>2) The plot holes are way to many. Humanity leaves on a rocket because they over polluted earth. Strangely in one of the scenes of destruction, amid polluting power plants, the director chose the Tsunami that killed thousands in Japan…that was natural… So, this rocket is populated and the next scene the narrator says humans search for a new planet, we now are not using rockets but high tech military vessels. Also, the same time we magically change technology to life sustaining floating structures (why not use them on earth?) we some how go military empire like colonial style. How did that change the idea we should not pollute? Wouldn't we re create the same problem elsewhere?<br/><br/>The planet found is a dessert yet we adapt (only because there is a stream nearby). The aliens are there (never will see them) and they unleash the Ursa, or giant monster bugs that hunt humans by smelling their fear. So. Is this only a battle on this planet? Is this an intergalactic battle? Are they hunted everywhere? This is a huge glaring hole that forces us to just go with the bug invasion…but it is not really an invasion…it is more like a problem for a few…<br/><br/>So Will, or Cypher, is a ghost solder because apparently he is the only human who shows no fear and therefore invisible. They explain nothing else other than Will is a high up military figure. Are there other ghosts? What is the significance to the over all movement? We are left to fill in the holes. OK<br/><br/>So he takes his kid on a ship to transport alien bugs because his relationship is not good with his kid. They have to avoid an asteroid belt they stumbled in and are jumped to earth by accident a planet labeled inhabitable by Federation Space or some unified space force…so they are a galactic presence? Details. You have none. Just nonsense. Cypher explains that the planet life has evolved to kill humans. The entire movie is made up of CGI pure historic creatures including a large bird, lions, a poison slug, buffalo, a spider, and monkeys…and one escaped alien. So his is a planet dubbed inhabitable contain the most biodiversity man has seen? <br/><br/>Apparently it is because of unstable weather, but apparently the animals are OK with it. So humans take risks in space on a desert rock planet attacked by killer aliens instead of return to a home free of aliens that contains pure historic animals they can tame with their technology, heck, the young Jaden Smith tames a large bird in the film.<br/><br/>The film rolls out of his dad injured aboard a ship barking commands at a bumbling idiot son to find a distress beacon, the plot of the film. He survives by luck and a few commands. Then one scene the kid jumps a canyon and knows how to use a glider suite…ya. Then the kid breaks contact with his dad, and is saved from dying by a vision of his dead sister from another planet which was awkwardly introduced and felt like something to burn time. He then is saved from dying by the giant bird that keeps him warm during a winter night… So stupid bumbling idiot finds the beacon, and is attacked by escaped alien. He is knocked down almost dead and he magically finds the confidence to fight and becomes a "ghost". He saves the day and the scene cuts to colonial hospital where his dad says "stand me up" to salute his son. This is a reference to when a double amputee of the leg soldier does the same to the father, Cypher, before lift off. It was cheesy, out of place, and stupid. The kid was in Ranger training, and did NOTHING MILITARY to help himself. He was saved by others over and over…why is his dad saluting him??? Does this imply Ghosts are hard to find? Does this imply only he and his son can look death in the eye and overcome fear for the will to live?<br/><br/>What does Earth have ANYTHING to do with this? IT could have been told in a camping story on their home world…or in any time period. The choice of earth is by chance, and accident and a poor excuse to add the word "Earth" in a title of a film. I guess it was to have that "green" touch to attract viewers.<br/><br/>3) The Technology hole: So it is future and technology is super high tech. They are military and do not have guns despite being humans that "destroyed earth" with war and pollution. they have these pipes that have buttons. And if you press the right combo you can summon different blades that come out either sides… YUP. Summer 2013 has its first bomb, and sadly, it’s landed right on Will Smith.
