This movie suffers from many issues, not the least of which is poor casting. Jaden Smith as an actor is not physically or emotionally ready to portray the role he is asked to fulfill. He lacks credibility. But that's only one of the many weaknesses of this film. The special effects and set design, especially those inside the spacecraft, are incredibly poor. Blinking lights, flimsy seat designs, unconvincing technology, etc. It's a mess. Once on the planet, the creature effects were reasonable, but they are meager and the tale itself just can't stand on its own without all the additional help it can get. Finally, the acting is substandard. Usually I'm a big fan of Will Smith, but what little we do see of him in this film is less than captivating, and Jaden's performance is over-acted, weak, and unconvincing. This one is a miss.
