Headed out to see the Day the Earth Stood Still last night with some friends. I had never seen the original movie so I had pretty low expectations. My friends warned me that the movie was getting bad reviews but I decided to just see for myself as I wanted to see this for awhile.
The movie stars Keanu Reeves and I usually like most of his movies. He is not the best actor but he picks movies well that fit his bravado. The basic premise of the movie is simple. An alien named Klatu comes to earth to decide if we should survive or not because he wants to protect Earth. The movie works well as a popcorn movie. The pace is fast and the acting was adequate. The movie features a young kid played by Will Smith's son Jade who irritated me the entire movie. I guess its hard to have a kid in a movie like that and not have the kidd annoying.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie. The ending was a little abrupt (think war of the worlds remake) but I still enjoyed it alot. It's not something that has to be seen in IMAX as the visuals were nothing too spectacular so a viewing in a regular setting would be good as well.
