I try to avoid "Earth"flicks because they all have long backstory of why Earth is not the Earth we know.

That's actually one of the few worthwhile "twists" from either the book or the movie in my opinion. I like the idea of a past "earth" in the sense of our modern one being so thoroughly beaten and destroyed that it is no longer recognizable. Taking a "primitive" human and showing them how great humanity once was is one of the cooler ways to reflect on the work of mankind, imo.
