The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008

Post by Kwonryu DragonFist »

Remake on the classic movie from 1951 with Klaatu and the robot Gort!

Instead of the epic line "Klaatu Barada Niktu", we will probably get "Whoa, Dude, Excellent!" this year. :)

Keanu is playing Klaatu come December.

What a god aweful piece of shit movie. Bad script, acting, special effects, and butchered a fantastic premise with a metric fuck ton of unneeded pretentious bullshit. Everything about this film was about as subtle as an atom bomb.

Horrible film. 3/10 because the first 15 minutes were enjoyable. Whoever greenlighted this adaptation should be shot in the face.

I love the contrast.

Watched this the other night. I give it a 49/100

Wasn't good. Wasn't too bad. A very average movie that might appeal to Sci Fi/Jennifer Connelly fans.
