The Day the Movie Stood Still

I went and saw The Day the Earth Stood Still. Now noting I saw the original along time ago and have small recollection of it. So based on that my expectations of the movie were pretty low barring this one having 21st century special effects to give it a more real feel. I think they just made the movie ok, because the originals lack of that helped add the realism of "Oh shit, this could really happen to us.", which was the original cult fixation of the movie to begin with. That is what scared people was that it seemed like the news they were watching not a movie.

*Spoilers* But all in all I thought some of Keanu Reeves was funny at times with his "Alien Talk". The little boy (Will Smith's Kid) was typical young kid with attitude towards his step mom, Jennifer Connelly. They find a way to come together and continue to prove to Keanu's character that he should not destroy humans to save earth from us. In which case he tries to find reasons to let them live and understand them.

The Gort in this movie though was pretty badass. All in all, it was a decent movie and would reccomend renting it when it is on DvD, and go pay to see something else this weekend at the Movies.
