can one little kid ruin a movie . yup . think i be exaggerate . watch this film . you can see exhibit a of it right here in this science fiction classic film and a re make of the 1950s hit movie of the same title . this re make actually would have only bad without insert this annoy kid and but he make it horrendous . jaden smith a jacob benson be a spoiled and chip on his shoulder and disrespectful kid who incessantly talk back to his mother and who put up with it which be equally annoy for most audience . what be the purpose of insert this kid in the film . what be the writer think . i be glad to see a number of reviewer here agree with me on this one . i guess if youre the son of a famous actor ( will smith ) and they will insert you in film role and even if there be no purpose to it . and hollywood wonder why people do not go to the movie much any more and and they sneer at pitiful re make . meanwhile and keanu reef be a good choice for his star role represent an emotionless robot like alien . reef be such a wooden sounding actor to begin with that play a bland robot be good cast for him . klaatu be tailor make for him . comedy be provide via the ludicrous environmental fear monger message in here . i laugh out loud in several spot when klaatu explain to u the reason for his mission . it so stupid and it laughable . i be remind of ed wood horrible sci fi story in the 1950s . i will say some of the special effect and the surround sound in here be excellent . it be the highlight of the movie . these be good visuals and good audio and and a nice film to view on blu ray . unfortunately and the story get in the way .
