An asteroid storm
causes a team of space travelers to crash on a desolate planet Earth 1000 years
in the future. The only survivors
are Gen. Cypher Raige and his 13 year-old son, Kitai. Their distress beacon is destroyed and Raige is badly
injured. The only hope of rescue
is for Kitai to find the tail portion of the spaceship and locate the back-up rescue
beam. The beam can summon another
ship to take them back to Nova Prime where humans have fled from the polluted
Earth. It will be a difficult
journey since every creature on Earth has grown more hostile toward human life
and the atmosphere has less oxygen content.
The story line is
thin but that’s not what we are here for in an action movie! I wonder if everyone is gotten so used
to bashing work done by Shaymalan that they believe everything he’s connected
with must be awful? I didn’t find
that the case in this film, it’s interesting and a different take on the broken
Earth theme. 3 ½* (I liked this
movie)
100
