I'm giving it a 3 Stars for the earth theory and for the special effects. Acting was so-so. The boy should have had a group of two or three others, including a girl, to go on his quest. Would have made a much better movie!
Very slow start, and it never really picked up. Not a typical Will Smith movie.
Movie was Okay. If it wasn't for the special effects, it should of been a direct to DVD movie. The boy really isn't a great actor, he did better in the Karate Kid. Just ruined the movie for me. Movie had so much potential. Don't waste your money. Wait for Rental.
I really dont think that people who haven't actually watched the movie yet should be rating it or even commenting. I just saw it yesterday and found the story line quite interesting and the effects were quite good. And, contrary to popular belief, this is not Jaden's first lead acting role...that was the remake the Karate kid. I think Will Smith did a great job writing the story and I love M. Night Shyamalan's directing, so it's a win for me.
It was interesting, well acted and entertaining! I would watch it again and again.
Terrible acting.
The boy can't act. Garbage.
Wait...it is funny, "The Smiths go to Earth" and "I paid to sleep when I could do it free at home".. Thats funny stuff. I cringed when I saw it was a father/son movie. Also unbelievable that little boy has the strenght to kill anything without a gun. Must be channelling his inner karate. Nope, I will see this movie later when its five bucks to purchase...tick another on my list. Also in the trailer they did tell you it sucked, but you chose not to believe. :(
Bloody movie destroyed my post movie action boot! She will never forgive me!
I see the producers are giving 5's...must be good
