It feels like both Keanu and the plot have both been given a heavy dose of valium, stretching out the viewing 'pleasure' to something that feels way more than it's actual run time.
A mish mash of miscast actors guide us well away from any scenes of world wide panic and destruction, opting to have us mainly following our alien fugitive barely chased by anybody and mostly at walking pace, as he decides if he'll save us all or not.
Realistically the most annoying kid in sci-fi would have helped him speed up mankind's demise, but the films heavily laden maternal bonding metaphor, becomes more than a subplot as it's shoved down your throat instead of any entertaining sci-fi action.
The only reason this got any stars at all was for the giant power sucking robot who got one shining scene at the start and pretty much switched off for the rest of the film.
There was no universal realisation of man's effect on the world, there was no sense of impending dread, fear, panic, no moral awakening, no decent city destruction effects, there's not even any likeable characters.
In short avoid if you can, the kid didn't ruin it, the film was already ruined, but boy you're gonna remember him as the worst thing about the flick.
