Drew Zahn Reviews Will Smith's New Film, 'After Earth', Finds Scientology Propaganda

From the control of emotion, to "grounding yourself in the present" to even the big volcano at the film's climax, the former Scientologist with The Hollywood Reporter warns much of the dialogue, message and imagery of the film seems "plucked directly from the L. Ron Hubbard playbook" – in other words, a propaganda vehicle for the pseudo-religion of Scientology. Perhaps this is not surprising. Will Smith, though not openly a member of the Scientology cult, has often praised it and has contributed over $1 million to a school founded upon its teachings. And Scientology has wormed its way into film before, with the science fiction disaster "Battlefield Earth," starring yet another Scientologist, John Travolta.

"Battlefield Earth" was originally a book by L Ron Hubbard, the founder of scientology.

No surprise that it contained scientology themes.
