''If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives.''

A remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film about an alien visitor and his giant robot counterpart who visit Earth.

"If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives."

A botched, superfluous modernisation of Robert Wise's timeless science fiction gem of the same name, The Day the Earth Stood Still is an overdone and super-sized special effects extravaganza as well as a prime example of cinematic blasphemy. Instead of the 1950s mindset which pervaded the original feature (Cold War, fear ... read more

The Day the Earth Stood Still had the potential to be a decent sci-fi movie. The visuals and musical score created an atmosphere of foreboding but these weren't enough to make for a truly enjoyable movie. This was because the story was poorly developed and the characters had no depth and it seemed like the movie was a showcase for advertisers more than anything else.

The future kind of sucks. (432 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: An alien, decides that humans, being the "dumb. panicky, idiots, that we are", that we deserve "a lesson of sorts". Year it takes place: 2000ish"

"9.7. Alkuperäisessä versiossa superälykäs avaruusolio ihmetteli asioita, joten odotin jopa jotain elokuvalta, jossa Keanu Reevesillä on potentiaalia ihmetellä leivänpaahtimia ja rakkauden konseptia. Mitään tällaista ei kuitenkaan tapahdu, vaan Keanu tietää valmiiksi kaiken ja kaikki on 2000-lukulaisen coolia ja rankkaa - myös sinistä ja todella mitäänsanomattoman näköistä. Muistin juuri, miksi en katso 2000-luvun Hollywoodia."
