The Day The Earth Stood Still
The Day the snores, snore snored - momo
Haaaaah! Listen to me, this film is not deep and is not teaching us a lesson. Anyone who feels they have had their eyes opened by this film should be ashamed of themselves; you are the same people who change the channel when the news comes on or when an appeal advert comes on telling us about Darfur or Zimbabwe. If you want to be moved watch a fucking documentary once in a while. Oh and the film is pants!

Meh. - Grace
This film looked a whole lot better in trailers. I was expecting something along the lines of War of the Worlds which I guess is what they were aiming at. But it really fails. Keanu Reeves was good.... MORE

very poor - Darragh
Reeves delivers yet another (at this stage trademark) wooden performances, in an absolute no-show of an extra terestrial flick. The audience looks to Connolly to carry the film, a role she... MORE

this film left a lot to be desired - deeliteful
i think scifi remakes should at least try to be up to the standard of the original but so often this is not the case - planet of the apes, anyone? this film, in spite of plenty of fancy effects, just... MORE

Keanu was perfect for the role! - Feidhlim
Keanu Reeves is perfect at playing an alien. How he remained so emotionless was oscar winning stuff (My attempt at sarcasm). Needless to say the film itself was also very poor with a below par script... MORE

Meh - Patrick Miller
