Review of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) by Sean K — 20 Feb 2011
With sub par performances, jumpy acting, off based thrills that come and go, and special effects that try to overlook the plot, I was very disappointed with this remake of the 50's classic sci fi film.
It brings a few interesting up to date changes but this doesn't even come to mind while watching this mind numbling and clunky incoherent film. There were times where I wanted to walk out, there was no real emotion from the leads (Is Keanue a robot?) and I just found the experience painful and boring.
Rent it at best if your a huge fan of the original but many I will warn will come away disappointed and feeling robbed.
