Mankind’s main obstacle is a monster race, called Ursa, which is blind and detects its human prey by smell-literally, by the scent of fear, as it emerges in the form of pheromones. The action is set a thousand years after humanity had to evacuate a despoiled Earth for a distant solar system, to which the species has adapted. Though set millennia in the future, “After Earth” is very much about life today-an allegory of the transition from being a helicopter parent to a free-range one-and it introduces an impressive array of futuristic paraphernalia to make the point. He also stars in the movie, along with his son, Jaden, and the parental connection is not incidental.
Night Shyamalan and Gary Whitta wrote the screenplay for “After Earth,” but Will Smith wrote the story.
