DANGER IS REAL. FEAR IS A CHOICE.
In the distant future a spacecraft crashes on Earth, which was abandoned by humans a long time ago; in order to be saved, the two survivors (who are father and son) need to find a beacon. M. Night Shyamalan returns to sci-fi after the dreadful Last Airbender (2010) for something that is very much a Smith family affair, with a story originally conceived by Will (who also lets his son have more screen time). Labeled as Scientology propaganda by some, this humdrum adventure has a few OK thrills but takes itself too seriously.
