My impressions

As far as science fiction goes, this film does have the usual pyrotechnics. A good premise, the earth in the future with all its beauty and dangers intact. A father and son team finding themselves stranded on this unfamiliar terrain. Their fate uncertain unless help comes as soon as possible.

The adventure begins.

Despite the potential in this lurking danger situation and help from the technical department enhancing the special effects, the film fails in engaging the audience. The script is run of the mill and does not have the high points when we can empathise with the main characters. As a result, the actors are unable to rise above a mediocre performance.

Watch it to while an hour or two of your time.
