Featured reviews
This is not the kind of movie you will recall in 5 years, but it's very watchable, it is not boring, it's good for 2 hours to kill.
I regret the lack of getting deeper in Junior's character, it's a bit thrown in a face, but that's okey.
Over all i will not claim back my 2 hours watching it, the story is keeping you up, and if someone ask me about the movie, I'll just say, it's OK, don't expect the super movie, but that's okey.

Clearly this movie is fighting itself, same as Will Smith fighting himself.
Action, pace, scenery, photography, fight sequences are above par, but why didn't anyone have a thorough look at the story...?
This could have been a great movie with a proper scenario that would engage into the characters and their conflict...but its not.
I suggest you watch the film. It is not a waste of time, but it will leave you with an "off" taste or feeling at the end when you realize all the lost potential.
5/10 because Ang Lee is a great director and could have done so much better with this.
This film will be most notable for it's innovative achievements in the effects realm. Although, the scriptwriting/story in contrast to the effects were a little lacklustre.
I appreciate the effort with the involvement of Ang Lee and, of course Will Smith, but I was left wanting.

Perhaps my expectations were too high. But I felt the whole clone subplot and main theme of this movie was wasted on this flick. It was too bland with absolutely nothing standing out and it could've been wholly replaced.
It's hard to pinpoint the problems in the story other than being mediocre and unimaginative. The whole clone aspect was definitely wasted here. And I kept questioning the motifs of the characters involved.
Some of the action scenes were good and I enjoyed them. But overall I'm fairly certain I'll pass on rewatching this.

When I saw the trailer I thought "Yea, I already know exactly how the story goes, but the deaging effects look nice"
So I went into it expecting not much, but at least some average entertainment. But oh boy, the movie is kinda hard to enjoy. The characters have no depth, the story is totaly bland and the action in it's best moments is super average.
I was right on both my predictions. The trailer already tells you the whole story and it does feel like you've already seen it before. And also, the creation of a young Will Smith totaly worked.
The script is horrible and you can easily notice the flaws. There are some super obvious setups that are so randomly thrown in that you know it's gotta be important later, just to then be disappointed that the payoff is even worse. Speaking of "Bees".
Sometimes it feels like scenes are missing. Some actually important stuff just happens off-screen.
The finale is disappointing and unspectacular and also the special effects are super whacky. People jump and run so fast that it looks like an early 2000s movie.
Conclusion: Will Smith keeps picking mediocre movies, I can't recommend you watching this, I was really bored.
