After Earth

Ok here goes.. This is M.Night.Shamalangadingdon's latest offering. Basic synopsis: Will Smith and his son crash lands on a future earth and they have to survive...... 
Granted, there's a bit more to it than that but that's all you need to know. Now M.Nights previous few films and been shit to be fair. "Lady in the Water" was one of the worst films I've EVER seen. 'The Happening' didn't and i deliberately didn't see 'Airbender' mainly down to its ridiculous title. This recent lack of form probably explains why you can't see his name highlighted in the promo stuff.
Anyway, on with the review..
Now I'm partial to a good Sci-fi movie, and the fact that it IS a Sci-fi movie means it's already earned one star in my book.. Unfortunately though you still need some substance to clinch the deal and this film was severely lacking in that department. In fact what it was mainly lacking was excitement.. A sense of threat to our two leads.. A point.. Don't get me wrong the special effects where good.. But the special effects were good in Transformers 3... Overall it was no "Lady in the Water"... But also it was no "Oblivion" even!
