The Day the Earth Stood Still

This isn’t a movie. It’s a bad documentary on saving the planet.

When I first saw this movie it was right after I watched the original. I thought to myself why did they change so much for no good reason. There was a lot to like in the original story that was interesting. However that being said I love sci-fi and I love Reeves in them. The only thing that ruined this film for me was the kid! Take the kid out completely and it's a much better film. If I could edit this film it would change everything.

What a great time to watch a movie about people waking up to their capacity for right and wrong. This is not just entertainment. It's about realizing how much harm we can do to the earth and each other, and maybe it's time to try a better way. The professor says "we change on the brink", but how about seeing where we're headed and changing now? I really liked this movie.

Any similarity between the original ’51 and this is impossible. As expected another remake that makes you glad you saw the original.

That is the only word I can use to describe this movie.

Someone had a lot of film to burn. The movie starts out with so much potential and promise, gets stodgy quickly — but grinds down to an Earth Day 'let’s-save-mother-earth' propaganda flick not worthy of an elementary school skit. Yawn. Waited the whole movie for something to happen, and after the dramatic arrival of the alien spacecraft, nothing else happened. Who wrote this script? Al Gore? Fell asleep during the credits. The opening credits. Who left the bag of idiots open? I’m shocked that anyone who find this movie entertaining — to say the least — or excellent. Where do I sign up for giving brain-dead movies good ratings and reviews?

Lol. I definitely couldn't sit still for this movie nevermind stand.

This movie is actually entertaining somewhat--then they wrap the whole story up and it all goes down hill from there.

I was entertained by this movie. I remember the original movie, and it was okay, but this was a new take and I liked it.

They need to bury this movie next to the Atari E.T. cartridges in the desert.
