After Earth - 2/10
Whilst I liked the idea of the storyline, the execution of it was poor. An alien race has created monsters that detect humans by fear, hunting them down to kill them. Its set 1000 years "after earth" was left uninhabitable due to all of the resources being used so they leave and end up on a planet that has an alien species on it (that you never see or hear about again...)
Supposedly everything on earth has now evolved to kill humans, with GIANT eagles, blood thirsty apes and leech creatures that paralyse you in seconds. Now, the film just full on fails right there as how the hell can evolution take place so quickly?! The air also cannot be breathed by will and jayden smith either, even though the entire planet is covered in tree's, whilst the alien one they are on is mostly desert. This would have been fine from an adaption point of view, if will smith didn't continously mention that "the gel coats your lungs so that you can accept more oxygen into your blood stream", which implies the EXACT opposite!
Last but not least, lets get to the acting, which is truly awful at points. Will smith plays a character that pretty much plays the entire film with his sons daft facial expression. Even worse, Jayden is supposed to be the main actor in this and falls flat on his face with a truly awful accent, his daft facial expression that never changes (born with it...) and the overly ridiculous ending where he turns into some sort of super warrior.
The film would have had SO much more promise if it didn't have jayden smith as the main actor and instead, had them both lead a team of survives through the now "alien" jungle of earth to retrieve the beacon, whilst being hunted by the "ursa" (basically, copy predator, with more of a story, with father and son elements).
Sigh
My wife and I went to see this last minute instead of Man of Steel. Great decision as it had both of us in tears with laughter!
