Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai's craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
mr-shekhar88 For 5 Years, I didn't bother with this movie because of the IMDB user reviews but I watched it today because I literally had nothing to watch and I was expecting to watch maybe 10 - 20 mins and then start browsing YouTube again but hey, the movie's not at all as bad as they say it is - Yes it has it's flaws, Will Smith is just so rigid and although I think Jaden is a moron, his acting isn't as bad as they say it is neither is the character - they're saying Katai (Jaden) keeps freaking out but surrounded by a pack of fierce monkeys ready to kill him, him staying calm would be bad direction.Having said that, yes the movie has quite a few plot holes -(1) Will Smith angry with his 9 - 10 year old son for not even trying to help his sister - he know the kid would have died too (2) 1000 years of technological advancements and their best weapon is a shape shifting sword??(3) How the hell did the O2 masks work without being connected to anything.(4) Hand held distress beacons, one at the cockpit, one at the tail - why didn't the ship's body have one integrated to it?(5) and finally, my favorite - say we were so technologically advanced that we could find and visit other planets with life, would we start throwing lions and tigers at them to kill them off??? WTF??? And not just that, the only way these Ursas could hunt was by smelling fear???
gregberne11 This is one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my entire life. do yourself a favor and don't bother watching it. will smith's worst movie and his son is just terrible.
mrstrangerjones Don't watch this. Jaden Smith's acting is terrible, Will Smith just looks bored the whole movie, the dialogue is terrible, the story is so convoluted, and it's just so boring. And this was only in the 15 minutes that I managed to watch.Don't do it.
walshj-01468 After passing this over a few tines due to poor reviews I finally gave it a go and am really glad that I did. In reality this is a very good film , good science fiction , entertaining and a moving story about a father and son . If you like sci fi you honestly wont be disappointed.
