Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

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.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

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

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

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.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

After Earth is an original science fiction film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or established canon for its characters to compare against, thus precluding any race swap.
