We’re hoping M. Night Shyamalan’s latest epic sees the director back to his best following a recent, torrid time on the big-screen. Disasters, THE LADY IN THE WATER, THE HAPPENING and THE LAST AIRBENDER, has seen Shyamalan’s stock plummet with both critics and cinemagoers alike, following a trio of memorable masterpieces with THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE and SIGNS.
After a crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige and his legendary and decorated father Cypher, stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.
AFTER EARTH is released on the 7th June and stars Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Isabelle Fuhrman, Sophie Okonedo and Zoë Kravitz. Check out the latest poster below.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
