so i be one of those people who be scream no at the day the earth stand still remake and the original be one of my favorite movie . it a terrific sci fi film and probably the best to come out of the 50 era . i highly recommend it while move onto the and sigh and remake . keanu reef and mmmm and what on earth about him scream alien . i guess since it look like it hurt when his face express human emotion and he what the director need . but what i do not appreciate about the remake be that it completely change the story and the moral the first movie bring to u . if we be to have a remake of this story and at least it seem like in today world it moral be more important than ever and that human be just destroy themselves with all the technology and violence that we have create . instead and i get 2 hour of jennifer connelly complain to a stubborn keanu reef on how much human rock . dr. helen benson and a princeton professor and and other scientist be hastily assemble by the government in order to formulate a survival plan when it be fear that a large unknown object be due to impact manhattan in approximately 78 minute . nothing can be do about it because a vital military satellite have be disable . it hit earth and out of the sphere come a be name klaatu emerge from the sphere while accompany by a large robot . klaatu and a representative of a group of alien race and have come to assess whether humanity can reverse the environmental damage it have inflict on planet earth . in the frightened confusion and klaatu be shot and but survives and be take to a government facility . while recover from his injury and klaatu be detain by regina jackson and the united state secretary of defense and and be bar from speak to the united nation . klaatu manage to escape and and he soon find himself elude the authority throughout northern new jersey and specifically newark and the forested highland and with helen and her stepson jacob . after speak with professor barnhardt about how his own specie go through drastic evolution to survive it sun demise and klaatu be convince by helen and jacob that human can change their way and be worth save the three go toward the sphere in central park to stop the machine from destroy the world . so when i really think about this movie and it just make me sad . i be go to be fair with the rating and but gosh and those special effect . for 2008 and it seem like we get worse with cgi and the end effect be just way way way over the top . keanu reeve be sadly the only convincing actor in the film . oh and my god and do i just say that . not to mention and do kathy bates owe someone a favor . she a terrific actress and why be she in here . i also love how jaden smith and will smith son and be take his daddy footstep in alien movie and do will smith come from another planet . because it seem like that family be obsess with alien . i be go to do you a favor and recommend watch the original day the earth stand still and believe me and it so much good . negative .
