It’s the white-knuckle trailer for a new scifi flick with Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith (yes, they play father and son). The effects look sweet, and I like the idea that — as Smith says in the trailer — “everything has evolved to kill humans.”

Yes, it’s directed by The Happening and The Last Airbender schlockmeister M. Night Shyamalan, but shut up! Those mega-birds look freakin’ awesome.

Here’s the official synopsis:

A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.

In theatres – June 7, 2013
