Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.How many more chances is The Sixth Sense director M Night Shyamalan going to get? This is the film-maker’s biggest dud yet – and this from the man behind The Last Airbender.
Will Smith, whose natural charisma is viciously sapped here, plays an intergalactic general who crash lands, along with his son (Jaden Smith, his actual son), on Earth. It’s 1,000 years in the future and the planet, destroyed by climate change, is beset by hyper-evolved, murderous creatures.
Smith is crocked, so his one-expression (sullen) teen son needs to track down a beacon to get help. An unforgivably turgid sci-fi.
