Review of The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) by Al M — 12 Feb 2009
Awesome film and sci-fi classic, and its message of peace is rather subversive given the early cold war period in which it as released. As with The Haunting, Robert Wise makes the most of simple effects to create a compelling drama about the human condition with all the general fun of b-movie sci-fi romp.
