The Day the Earth Stood Still

"I like this one but don't consider it better than the original. I separate them in my mind and tried not to compare as I watched. For what it is, it's pretty good. I'm a Keanu fan so I was happy to see him. Watch but don't expect it to be the original. "

"I enjoyed this end of the world alien movie. I didn't watch the older version, so I can't say anything in comparison, but I still thought it was a great movie. Different from the usual alien invasion ones."

"I Am Not A Huge Fan Of Science Fiction Movies It Is Definitely The Genre At The Bottom Of My List But This Movie Was Brilliant Matched Up And Was Even Better Than The Orginal Thanks To Keanu Reeves"

"A decent film."

"Moves much slower than the original despite being only ten minutes longer, Keanus acting is not good and doesn't achieve the 'otherworldly, inhuman' vibe he's going for. Theres no message in the first hour of the movie, it's just orbs???? Why is Klaatu so awful in this movie?? "

"Worth a watch. "

"It’s Keanu, he plays the perfect alien 👽 "

"It's an interesting remake"

"Remakes can be dicey if not done right. This was a worthwhile update IMHO. Whereas the original dealt with humanity’s potential threat to the rest of the universe due to the our harnessing of the atom, this version addresses mankind’s destructive effects on the planet. The specifics may differ, but the overall theme of the human tendency towards destruction remains intact."

"This remake is much prettier than the original. Is it a better movie? Not particularly. Do the changes it includes improve the story without creating new, unresolved problems? Nope. What's here is a decent time killer that won't challenge your intellect or faith, though the subject matter really should. Enter at your own risk; but, you've seen worse. "
