Synopsis:

This edit cuts 37 and a half minutes reducing the run time from 1:40 to 1:02:27 and jumps straight into the action leaving a tighter paced, less sentimental film about a boy having to brave the savage wilderness to to save his life and the life of his father.


Intentions:

With an woeful 11% on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.8 on IMDb After Earth is widely considered a stinker. Critics felt it was a dull, ploddingly paced exercise in sentimental sci-fi written by Will Smith solely to bootstrap Jaden Smith's movie career. It being such a maligned film is the very reason I decided to buy a copy as I wanted to whether I could do something with the footage. After watching it I was surprised at how much I enjoyed its central ideas and so the aim was to reduce, as much as possible the weaker elements and produce a lean, TV length edit which championed this film's strengths.


Change List:

Cut list: Added Netflix style fanedit logo Added Malthus Fanedits Card Removed entire first act up to the meteor shower (-15mins) Added a title card post crash Truncated waking up sequence to remove stilted editing Removed Spider sequence Removed line "I like it but I think it's bad" Removed Flashback during injection Removed Cake flashback Removed first ghosting monologue Removed almost all of the raft dream sequence. Keeping only the wake up! jump scare Removed Jaden's cave mathematics montage Removed the mountain top fight Removed slow-mo shots in medical bay Removed reference to "mom's work" as it referred to an removed scene and it was a forced joke.


Additional Notes:

All edits were done in Lightworks 14.5 with the media converted using MakeMKV and Handbrake
