I would have thought that Sean Connery would have produced a better specimen of man. My only thought as to why this seemed this way was because of the possibility that they hired an actor too old for the role. Didn't he seem younger?
shareyeah i know what you mean,
he looked like a bad-acting kiss-a$$ robot child,
very irritating,
i hope this kid is dead now!
The kid did spoil things a bit, because he didn't come across as heart-warming - more like irritating and babyish. He wasn't convincing; I don't think any kid acts like that. All the "mommy" "daddy" "I love you daddy" - was too sugary and nauseating.
Any normal kid of that age wants to be taken seriously, so has grown up a bit, and would just say "Mom & Dad" and would hopefully not be sooo mushy.
I guess the writer didn't have a good grasp of what kids are like. Maybe he wanted the kid to appear lovable, but definitely got it all wrong. I would have made the kid more normal - more like you'd expect Connery's kid to be like.
I would have to disagree with most of you. The kid was an immature little whimp because where he had grown-up The parents may have been fine, but the environment on a space outpost is probably a bad place to raise a kid (it's too dangerous a place for a kid to grow-up normally).
shareHe was adorable! :) Sweetly innocent and obviously cloistered in space for a long time with no contact with many of his age.
What's his name?
Enrique Sanchez
Perhaps they were trying to puncuate the point to Connery -- and us -- that the kid needed his father. Otherwise he'd grow up without Connery showing him how to be Connery and use the Mom as his role model instead.
shareConnery (Scottish) plus Wife (English) = Kid (American)
shareYep. Perfect sense.
Come with me if you want to live.
Putting this into the future, keep in mind that accents are going away. Regional ones in the U.S. have been coming less pronounced for decades. My guess is that will happen to international ones as well as time goes by (if it hasn't already).
Blame it on TV.
Hopefully it won't be the nauseatingly abominable General American accent.

If you look at Sean Connery's real son Jason, he's not quite the spitting image of his ultra-masculine dad you might expect (he's blonde and much more boyish)
shareDon't know if anyone else has already mentioned this - The dad is Scottish, the mom is English and the son, who has never been to earth, has an American accent?
shareNot sure if anyone mentioned this but the father is Norwegian, the mother from Mozambique yet the kid has an American accent????
