I guess there are limits to Will Smiths talents!
I went to see this at the cinema last night (Friday), having briefly seen the dismal 4.8 rating it's received on iMDB, and the lingering thoughts that in reality, this was just Will wanting to boost Jaden Smiths profile, and his CV.
It starts out really very slow, and ultimately the premise of the film is very simple, a traditional boy becomes man, forges relationship with estranged father, etc, etc.
The world they've created was an interesting one but nothing really that far-fetched, and I think they probably could have spent a bit more time on it, with the film coming in at a mere 1h 40m, but having massive special effects.
I'm not going to go on too long, so i'll just end with the simple summary: don't bother.
I've given it a 6.2, because it's not awful, but if you want the story, there's many others that do it better, and if you want the effects, then again, many more around. The bonus is that Big Willy Smith is in it.
