Additional Information
A remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic of the same name, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL follows astrobiologist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) as she is unceremoniously plucked from her everyday life with her stepson (Jaden Smith), and whisked away to consult the government on a top-secret matter. That matter happens to be the arrival of a massive glowing sphere in Central Park, accompanied by a towering robot-like protector dubbed Gort and an alien ambassador named Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), who takes up human form to communicate with the people of Earth. When Klaatu finds himself faced with hawkish, uncompromising officials, he goes on the run with Benson and her son as the fate of the world gradually becomes clear.<BR><BR><BT><BR><BR>Directed by Scott Derrickson (THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE), this reimagining of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is fairly reverent to the original film, while adding a number of 21st-century elements, most notably a darker tone embodied by a more threatening Gort and the chilly, contemplative Klaatu, who is portrayed with pitch-perfect remove by Reeves. While the film--and the fate of humanity--rests on Reeves's shoulders, the cast is impressively filled out by Connelly and Smith, along with Kathy Bates, John Cleese, and familiar TV actors Jon Hamm (MAD MEN) and Kyle Chandler (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS). Derrickson also tempers excellent special effects with a bleak colour palette and plenty of existential turmoil, making this EARTH a thoughtful and fascinatingly moody blockbuster.

  • Entertaining, but only just!

    I gave this 3* simply because it's not really possible to best the original! The original 1951 version was made before I was born (only a year later) but as a kid I saw it, and as a teen I saw it again... and yes, I have seen it a few times since. Whilst the original's theme was more or less followed, it somehow lacks the distinct warning message, that was intended in the post-war 1951 version of the original: "You lot really are the cretins of the universe! Stop your purile warfare and aggression now, or we'll just have to destroy you [before your aggression spreads like a destructive virus throughout the universe!" I like Keanu Reeves (he was excellent in The Matrix series and just about everything he's done... Bill & Ted included), and he played his part in this film very well... ...

  • Very good quality DVD

    No evidence of even the smallest scratch. A real bargain.

  • A great remake of a true classic.

    Great remake of a rather tame original. Super performances from all concerned. A must for any true sc-fi lover`s shelf.
