The Day The Earth Stood Still

[Reaper]

Thoughts?

I was disappointed in the end really. It was rather sudden. Kinda like skippin foreplay and shootin your wad.

did anyone actually read the book first

[freydis]

It has Keanu in it.

That alone is incentive to not see it.

Just like Valkyrie. If it were anyone but Tom Cruise, I'd see it.

[Azeuron]

did anyone actually read the book first

yes and i felt this one was more in keeping with the book but still different in a good way but i do agree it wrapped up rather quickly

[Reaper]

I'd never have a life if I read the books before seeing all the movies.

Now if I could only see some of the Piers Anthony novels come to the big screen. Those would be books I read first before seeing the movie.

i heard it sucked but i think ill till give it a shot

[Michiko_Dreads]

HOW MANY MOVIES MUST BE MADE IN AMERICA WHERE THE HUMAN RACE DIES BECAUSE OF THEIR EFFECT ON THE EARTH?

I swear.. people said it sucked because it wasnt what they thought.

I thought the happening was awesome but some people said why are the plants killing 'niggas' why couldnt been terrorist or something??? <<<We were the terrorist>>>

Anyways Im tired of movies that scream GO GREEN... Living in America... It'll be a while....Our leaders are too money hungry... thats why we are fighting over oil... we have oil.... Instead of using alternatives we are stuck with gas because of the ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR......

BACK TO THE SUBJECT: I thought it was going to be totally different but I realized eh... what could I do.... its one of those movies you watch once and again 3 years from now.

It wasnt horrible... just different from my usual movie choices. Keanu... loved him in the matrix..... other movies Im like egh...... stick to the futuristic fantasies boy...........

[kellygrrrrrl]

Hated it.....

now The Punisher.... that was AWSOME

[Homicidalheathen]

gonna go see it later if for no other reason to droll over Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly...I mean its SCI FI...I gotta see it.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

It ok. I wouldn't say it was good, but i wouldn't call it a bad movie either. I also agree that the ending was a bit too abrupt. I wen't to see it becasue it was sci fi and well, unless the reviews are just DOGPOO and i have a chance to see a sci fi film at the theater I have to take it. I wouldn't "recommend" it to any but fairly hardcore sci fi fans who have made peace with the fact that Hollywood will never do a book or a remake correctly.

I was expecting to drool over Mrs. Connely as well... she is attractive still but in this she looks the the uber-harmless asexual rail-thin soccer mom in this.

Re-watching Firefly or Battlestar Galactica for the 9th time might be time better spent. hah.

*QUASI-SPOILER ALERT*

The title theme "The Day The Earth Stood Still" meaning.... the machines all stopped moving/working (in the original) never even happened in this thing did it? Unless I slept though something.

[Onyx]

That's my impression also - it was OK, not great, not a total stinker.

Worth a matinee price, not worth seeing at full price.

I believe that happened at the very tail end (and that I think was what he meant when he said that we would have to learn a new way of living or something like that).

It happened when the orb made its appearance at the city park. When violence was threatened, the tall being shut the whole city down and nothing mechanical worked.

ah, that's right!

Not a very memorable movie overall, heh.

"I'm impatient with stupidity. My people have learned to live without it."

The original is much much better. Although I did like a few parts about the new movie. The casing for traveling from one planet to another and then adapting to the environment. Gort was made out of millions of tiny insects that multiplied was neat but so not true to the original. They did keep with a few of the key plot points but not many. It butchers the original but stands well on its own.

It was nice to see the table though

[DarkVampire]

Hollywood writers are running out of original ideas if they have to do remakes of classics.

They've been doing that for years before anyway. If they can't get the rights to the original they change a few things and give it a different title to avoid the copywrite.

[bled_dry]

I have a very heavy heart when really good classic movies get remade, it has to be over the top to even be worth going to see. Then there are incidents like psycho....man (heavy sigh).....

I was extremely disappointed in seeing Keanu, it made me not even want to bother with it all together.

Even if they were looking for someone robotic, yes, he's the one to choose, but really????!!!!

Murder of cinema is never good.

[Homicidalheathen]

I laughed out loud twice, and the movie was not trying to be funny.
