I had high hopes for this movie BECAUSE it had Will Smith in it and he usually does not disappoint. But this was a complete waste of time on my part and the studio. Your kid can't act Will, sorry sometimes the truth hurts. The part with his kid yelling at himself in front of a green screen was so bad that I almost stopped watching. It was all down hill from there. The "Earth" is suppose to very dangerous yet this kid lives despite being near death everytime the sun went down. seriously just bad writing, acting, and zero ambition

What a waste of time. Felt like I was watching a father show off his son play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on the piano. "Hey, son, play it with more emotion!" "Now play it with your left hand!" And then the son gets in a huff and Daddy says, "Ain't he cute!" This movie somehow overcame my great fondness for even horribly acted, plot-less post-Apocalyptic movies. I can deal with poor acting, lousy effects, simplistic plots and even preachy dialogue. What I can't stomach is when an actor or a director throws something out there thinking that because they've made decent movies in the past, people will just show up. That's what's fundamentally wrong with this bloated, soulless wasteland of a movie. The "talent" just showed up. The father and son pair seemed truly to be reading their lines. They shout them sometimes, sometimes try to show that they're really, really sad, sometimes that they're really angry or really determined, but it was just laughable. Fast forward through the trailers (supposedly the highlights of a film) and one can immediately see how strained are their performances.
