Be non-violent -- or I'll kill you.

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still, but he showed us he's full of crap.
Review: I knew that I was going to hate The Day the Earth Stood Still from the moment that enlightened otherworldly visitor Klaatu opened his big, stupid mouth. I m sort of amazed that this boring piece of Mystery Science Theater fodder movie has attracted...

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...

enjoyable classic

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 1999
Review: Where are the 50's when aliens weren't special effects but pointed out human foibles? "The Day the Earth Stood Still" very quietly makes a strong social comment. But if you don't remember the history of the 50's, don't worry the universal theme...

Oh boy!

Date of Review:  May 17, 2000
Review: I am not a fan of 50s scifi, but this movie must be classified as a classic. The concepts introduced in the plotline are not groundbreaking as far as science fiction goes. However, it was a groundbreaking movie.
Make no mistake, the plot is slow...

Alien love story too

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2000
Review: I first saw this movie when it was first shown on TV. My sister made me watch it because it was her all time favorite movie, still is 40 years later. After seeing the movie numerous times I can say that it is a good early science fiction movie. The...

Well-intentioned but deeply flawed

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2000
The Bottom Line: Watch it if it comes on TV, but expect to be preached to and don't think too much or you won't enjoy it.
Review: Screenwriter Edmund North has been quoted as saying that the Christ allegory of the script was no accident. In that regard, it seems he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. Many view this movie with almost religious fervor, seemingly blind to its...

Retro Science Fiction is Good....

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a wonderful film with a wonderful message and a great cast.
Review: This black and white classic is a fine science fiction film with a wonderful message. The Day the Earth Stood Still may not stack up to the high technological science fiction films of today, but for a film in 1951, it's is a very good film.

the day my screen stood still

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2001
Review: The Film "The Day the Earth Stood Still" shows the
concept of aliens as a higher forms of being. This
film also depicts the aliens as peaceful beings. This
simply challenges the human race to rise up to the
level of the foreign...

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...

Klaatu Comes in Peace, Sort Of, in The Day the Earth Stood Still

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2009
The Bottom Line: "Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer."
Review: Several years ago, my brother Nathan had the lead in a play called The Foreigner. Among his lines was the curious phrase Klaatu barada nikto, a series of alien words spoken to avert a disaster in The Day the Earth Stood Still. The phrase didn t mean...
