100 things I learnt from After Earth


Every bad movie deserves one of these and in case this movie already has one, it deserves another.

1. After we leave earth we will build our spaceships from bamboo and plastic cling wrap. They will be very roomy and use brushes for curtains.

2. There will be no breathable air on earth after humans have left it even when the place is covered with trees and the other animals survive.

3. The technology used to turn Bilbo's sword blue when surrounded by Orks is used in the future to make suits turn black when there's danger.

4. When the people have gone it will get really cold at night but magically warm up again next morning. This is because the humans took the heat retaining properties of water with them when they left.

5. In the future you can base jump without a parachute.

6. If you only have a limited number of vials of precious medicine and some of them get broken then it is always better to use the unbroken ones rather than trying to retrieve anything from the broken ones first.

7. There will be lots of volcanic activity in the future. This is because the earth needs to provide warmth for the animals at night.

8. If you have a futuristic black suit you can outrun a group of angry apes even if they are running and jumping twice as fast as you.

9. The best futuristic weapon to kill a huge blind monster that only wants to kill humans, is a blade.

10. The pods used to contain said huge blind monsters are bigger on the inside than on the outside.

I learned that when you combine a crapoy actor Will Smith with his crapoy actor son Jaden Smitj, and add a crapoy director M Night Shamashamalamayan you get a super crappy film.

I also learned that in the future people will wear same style of clothing as was worn by the Apes in the Planet of The Apes movies.

Its good to have General Super Senses on board. The ship sensors are not precise enough.

11. when a super intelligent alien race creates huge monsters to kill humans, they find it cool to make them smell fear, however, for some reason they didn't find it necessary to give them eyes so that they wouldn't turn blind if the humans suppress their fear and thus get invisible to them.

When you are crashing, your space craft can't send out a proper distress signal. You have to wait until you are on the planet in pieces and use a cheesy hand-held device to call for help.

If you hide under a salad bowl, nothing can smell you.
If your underarms smell like vinegrette to begin with, you ahead of the game.

In the future, you won't need to eat or drink for days & days & days.

Animals don't need as much oxygen as people.

Every animal on earth has evolved to kill humans, but they haven't even seen one in 1000 years.

Every animal on earth has evolved to kill humans, except for pigs.

There is only one bug left.

If you crawl a few feet into an animal burrow, you can find Ancient Cave Paintings.

Large pockets of water can be found in the side of a volcano.
You can go swimming in them, they're not hot!

Closing a shower curtain is an efficient airlock.

A severed artery may cause drowsiness.

One thousand years in the future, there will be no guns.
Thanks, Obama!
