With both legs badly broken, Cypher must coach Kitai via camera phone as he makes a 100-kilometer trek, dodging the freed Ursa and Earth’s own predators, to find the chunk of wreckage that can save their lives. A crash landing on Earth leaves three survivors: the Raiges and the Ursa specimen they’d been transporting for use in training aspiring ghost-ers. He decides to take the boy along on an interstellar voyage, but the ship is thrown off course by a gravitational storm and must land on the nearest planet.

In any event, Cypher Raige comes home between long campaigns to find his son Kitai unsettled, struggling to live up to his legacy. One assumes it’s because somebody saw Darth Maul and thought his double-trouble light saber looked cool. The script also fails to explain why future warriors, whose technology allows for a “cutlass” whose two ends morph into any type of blade the user requires, choose not to use guns or lasers against the mighty Ursa. What we don’t learn in the too-quick intro is how all humankind came to speak in the same accent, most reminiscent perhaps of New Zealand’s - one that suits none of the cast very well, and makes Jaden Smith’s voiceover hard to follow. Harnessing this “ghosting” technique, he became a hero in the still-raging war.

When a member of the United Ranger Corps, the elder Smith’s Cypher Raige, found himself able to suppress his fear, he was suddenly invisible to the monsters. (By whom? Buy the comic book, kid.) Those beasts, Ursa, are blind, but can smell the pheromones humans release when afraid. We learn that, having ruined our environment, humans decamped en masse to Nova Prime, which would have been a nice place if not for the monsters that had been bred to kill humans. They must be saving an awful lot for comic book and video game spinoffs, though, as the film squeezes its millennium-long setup into a few short moments of voiceover introduction. Plans for such a franchise seem to be afoot, with filmmakers reportedly having written “1,000 years of backstory” for these two characters and their society.
