After Earth
It's the 'Smith' Family Robinson "Lost is Space" meets "Alien" when a father & son (Will & Jaden Smith) crash land on Earth over a thousand years after humans have abandoned their decimated planet. This is basically a rite of passage story where a young boy sets off into the wilds to survive for days on his own with little more than a knife, but with a sci-fi twist. Jaden is the movie's showcase feature with Will taking a back seat & exhibiting as much emotion as Mr. Spock. Pay close attention at the beginning because too much information comes too fast making the setup information confusing. Jaden is merely playing the "Karate Kid" role again and Will's acting talents are wasted here just to promote his son.
Alien gives it 3 "danger is real & fear is a choice" stars out of 4.
