Product Description

 
A remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic of the same name, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL follows astrobiologist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) as she is unceremoniously plucked from her everyday life with her stepson (Jaden Smith), and whisked away to consult the government on a top-secret matter. That matter happens to be the arrival of a massive glowing sphere in Central Park, accompanied by a towering robot-like protector dubbed Gort and an alien ambassador named Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), who takes up human form to communicate with the people of Earth. When Klaatu finds himself faced with hawkish, uncompromising officials, he goes on the run with Benson and her son as the fate of the world gradually becomes clear.

Directed by Scott Derrickson (THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE), this reimagining of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is fairly reverent to the original film, while adding a number of 21st-century elements, most notably a darker tone embodied by a more threatening Gort and the chilly, contemplat...

The Day the Earth Stood Still because aliens say we don't hug enough trees

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2009
The Bottom Line: It's just another crappy remake of a classic film, with a changed story and too much CGI.
Review: The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) is a remake of the classic science fiction movie from 1951. This remake stars Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, and is bad in most every way. The story was changed too much from the original, with it given an...

Not Bad, but not Necessary. Stick with the Original.

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2009
The Bottom Line: Quite watchable, and not the worst remake out there, but an unnecessary and flawed one. I'm a bit on the fence here.
Review: UFO lands on Earth (In the US of A, of course!), and the government (represented by Kathy Bates’ aggressive Secretary of State) shoot at an emerging figure. They take him back for further study (or some Guantanamo-style ‘interrogation’, more...

The Day Everyone Didn't Care. Neither should you.

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2009
The Bottom Line: Avoid this movie. Not a good sci-fi flick, nor a good action flick. Not a good anything, really.
Review: *spoilers below*

Lets take this movie as one of the prime examples of how trailers can make anything look cool. The trailer for this film depicted our planet being destroyed (Oh no! Let's watch on.), Keanu Reeves being interviewed, and...
