A story of courage, self belief and survival. A slow paced movie with a weak storyline. The visual effects are not attractive either with only handful of 3D effects added into it. The story involves our planet earth which has rejuvenated itself by making it habitable for human beings. A father and son stranded in an amazon-like jungle, battling to survive till their last breath. The movie runs for 95 mins and picks up pace only after the interval with some expected action sequences.
Will Smith is one of my favourite actors and looks absolutely under utilised. Jaden Smith has proved his performance in the "Karate Kid", but failed to woo the audience this time, even after being under the spotlight all throughout the movie. It seems director M Night Shyamalan is losing his grip on materialising high potential scripts into successful movies. I appreciate Shyamalan's work in his earlier projects like "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs", but this time it was way behind from the "Meets Expectation" mark.
Overall, a movie that can be skipped and can be waited till its Blu-Ray release. It failed to meet my expectations of amazing special effects and strong performances by the father-son duo, who mesmerised me in their earlier movie 'In Pursuit of Happyness'.
PS: I went to sleep for approximately 5 mins in the first half of the movie, was awakened by a phone call, not the movie.
