Putting all the technical achievements aside for now, Will Smith gives another terrific performance here. After the bad reviews/rating, I expected terrible writing but it actually pleasantly surprised me! Not great, but not cringy either. Standard action movie writing. The cast all does a great job. I don't know why this isn't rated higher than it is.
Regarding the technical aspects, it's the most convincing deep fake I've seen for sure! Like if you went into it without knowing it was cgi, you might think it was Will's son that looks just like him. Oddly the most telling aspect was his voice. It just didn't match up perfectly and didn't have that young Will feel to it (like hearing old Will coming out of his mouth). Just a bit off. And the facial expressions were a bit stiff. But it was a technical marvel.
