Robert Wise?s The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is one of those movies that stands as foundation work for much of the Science Fiction what would follow in the sixties. Still fascinating.
Review: Looking for Gort in all the wrong places?

Where do you start with a movie as old and as germinal to all science fiction movies following it as The Day the Earth Stood Still? The thing that surprises me is that I don t think I had ever seen...

A Dire Warning...

Date of Review:  May 26, 2000
Review: The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

As a child of the 1950s/60s, this movie will always be a classic to me, simply because in that context I can remember the real terror and panic that overcame people whenever they had a passing thought of...

The Classic (1951) THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: This classic stands the test of time. As relevant today as it was when it showed on the silver screen.
Review: The Day the Earth Stood Still. (1951) Directed by Robert Wise

"Gort! Klaatu barada nicto!" Helen Benson.

When this movie was made, Patricia Neal, who played Helen Benson, thought it would be another schlocky flying saucer B movie...

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL: Jesus In A Spaceship?

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: A must-see movie for fans of anthropology or science fiction, whichever you choose.
Review: One of the benchmark films in the history of the science fiction genre, and one of the most popular films of all time all over the world, is THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL(1951). The title itself is enough to give one pause: What does it mean to say...

Might Makes Right in This Sci-Fi Classic

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: This Sci-Fi classic should not be missed by anyone aware of our current political climate.
Review: Now here's a movie that jumps right out of the time period in which it was made. The Day the Earth Stood Still is structured like a classic 50s paranoia sci-fi thriller, but it has a much deeper meaning than that. Director Robert Wise has cleverly...

The Day the Earth Stood Still - 1951 (far superior to the modern remake!)

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2009
The Bottom Line: If you like sci-fi movies at all, you've probably already seen The Day the Earth Stood Still... no reason not to watch it again, of course!
Review:
What happens when an alien visitor parks his flying saucer in the middle of a park and walks out with a message of peace? Why, shoot him of course! This is the basic concept of The Day The Earth Stood Still, set among a climate of fear and...

Shoot First, Ask Questions Later: The Day the Earth Stood Still

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: All in all, I enjoyed it enough to watch all the way to the end...after almost turning it off when I saw it was a black and white dated film
Review: Yea the message here was lost on me. I see many people talking about the 'peaceful' message while I heard only 'the Earth will be destroyed'. How is that peaceful? The Day the Earth Stood Still is a science fiction movie set in the late '50s it...

The Day the Earth Stood Still: There are old movies worth watching

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: A good suspenseful and a classic from 1951.
Review: This is the movie of an alien from another planet that has come to Earth to proclaim a message. What that message is, is unclear until the very end of the movie. But between the time of his arrival and his parting, he is able to see what mankind is...

Studio Classic -- The Day the Earth Stood Still

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: A movie worth viewing! Who can forget the classic line, "Klaatu Barada Nikto".
Review: I can remember when I first watched The Day the Earth Stood Still. The story riveted me, and the robot was spectacular!


Brief Plot Synopsis

The world is in a panic. A spaceship has landed in Washington, DC, and an alien...

Peace and Joy on Earth

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: ?
Review: One of the big debates about intelligent life on other planets is why such life hasn t come to visit us, or at least why it hasn t made itself known. It might be better to ask what would happen if it did. If an alien did make contact with humans,...
