Review of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) by Arthur P — 21 Sep 2016
If you are an unashamed movie geek like me and can recite "Klaatu Barada Nikto" and.
"18, 24, 61, B, 17, 17, 4" (the data uplink code from The Running Man) without googling them, then you might like this film. Considering how bad the original film was, this is somewhat of a triumph.
There is a rather large whiff of "Neo" about Keanu's uninspired performance and Jennifer Connelly is as wooden as an extra from a Hulk movie but I have watched far worse. If your choice is between this and a film with a title that is a rip off of a blockbuster, "starring" ex-adult movie stars trying to be real actors, choose this.
Not good but not dire.
