The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008

[David Faltskog]

Saw the remake last night on a naughty website because...Well because i could and did so there

No Spoilers here so i,ll just say it was'nt that bad, nowhere as good as the original version K, Reeves ain't no Micheal Rennie that's for sure and Jennifer Connelly needs some acting lessons and as usual there's a annoying little brat to content with but...

Gort (that big sh!t kicking mother fukkin' robot) is quite a awesome sight and the best thing in the movie, infact he (she? it?) is the only reason to watch the remake.

As for the story...Pfft let's just say i,m sure Al Gore wrote it!

The best sum up of the film is a quote from another site...

"Klaatu's and Gort's Big Adventure...Bogus"

Sounds like I'm going to be disappointed when I see this... gutted - was really hoping it would be good.

[mrgrotey]

yeah There wasa review on XFM the other day about it and wrap-up phrase was 'dont bother, save your money'

Taken from Wiki,

The film received generally negative reviews. Based on 128 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, only 22% of reviewers gave the film positive reviews. Its conscensus stated the majority found the film "heavy on special effects, but without a coherent story at its base, [the film] is subpar re-imagining of the 1951 science-fiction classic". [27] Similarly, another review aggretator, Metacritic, gave the film a 40/100 approval rating based on 32 reviews. [28]

Finally i went to see that movie, i love SciFi and i wanted to see it badly.

I was lucky that it was 1/2 price, because the movie is not worth of paying the full price, all the Special Effect in the movie are on the Trailer, The rest of it is quite dull.

One thing that i loved very much about the movie is the end of the movie. The way the movie is ending is great awsome idea.

So from a point of vue from a viewer, not that Good, but for a SciFi book writer as myself, That story as full of potential.

So wait for renting the movie or PPV. If you really can't wait then try to pay half price lol

Chantale.

Sounds like another classic story turned into mediocrity. Still, I'll give it a chance - when I finally get to see it of course.
