The AFTER EARTH Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD both come with all-new featurettes, including exciting behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the film, and a video announcing the winning team of the XPRIZE After Earth Challenge, where teams from around the world submitted video proposals to address the global challenge of promoting a more sustainable way of living, as well as the steps they would take when using an unmanned rover to assess whether “Nova Prime,” mankind’s potential new home, is inhabitable.
Exclusive to the Blu-ray are three bonus featurettes, including “Building a World,” “Pre-Visualizing the Future,” and “The Animatics of After Earth” – glimpses into the unique approaches taken to create the After Earth universe. The Blu-ray Combo Pack also comes with a never-before-seen version of the film’s opening sequence.
Synopsis:
A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) 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.
