Leans Traditional
Primary
While featuring an environmentalist backdrop, the film's core narrative champions individual responsibility, discipline, and the overcoming of personal fear through self-mastery, framed within a traditional father-son dynamic, which aligns with conservative values of individual agency.
The film features prominent Black actors in its lead roles, showcasing visible diversity in its casting. The narrative, however, focuses on universal themes of survival and personal growth, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The film "After Earth" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate under the provided framework, resulting in an N/A rating.

The film primarily focuses on the male protagonists, Cypher and Kitai Raige, and their struggle for survival against the planet's fauna and an alien creature. No female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
After Earth is an original science fiction film, not an adaptation of pre-existing source material or a depiction of historical figures. All characters were created for this specific movie, thus there are no instances of characters established as one gender being portrayed as another.
