The Day The Earth Stood Still

An unnecessary remake

An alien race has decided to prevent the earth from dying by wiping out the human race. The alien Klaatu is sent to deliver the message to them before their end but when he meets Dr. Helen Benson he starts understanding the other, not destroying, side of the earthlings.

One should think there could be not so much wrong with a well animated movie that even has Keanu Reeves in it but after seeing this remake of the 50's classic that had such a better story, you see there can be much wrong.

The movie is just boring. There is the climatic topic of "The day after tomorrow" missing that let you stunned. There is the action from "War of the worlds" missing and after all it seems like a movie you've already seen somewhen. Not my cup of tea!
