ya I’ll see it and tell you what I think 790, lol.

Does anyone else thing the CGI on Gort looks brutal in these trailers?

COOL! And about time!!

a film depicting Keanu Reeves as a messiah to the whole human race,

a being more advanced and intelligent than all those around him,

who, at the end of the film saves us all from annihilation by a species hell-bent on our destruction AS a species AND very probably at the cost of his own life.

WHY didn’t anyone think of this before?
And Reeves is PERFECT for the part!

(Although, I think he would look more powerful and advanced if he was wearing a long, black trench coat with a matching tunic buttoned up to his neck instead of that borrowed J.C.Penney’s suit.)

Just sayin’

Edmund H. North : “Why did you rewrite my story???”

FOX : “Your story?”

Robert Wise : “What does this have to do with “The Day the Earth Stood Still???”

FOX : “Nothing. We’re just trying to take advantage of the title (while we still own it…) and feed a giant pinball movie to a dumbed down Mc-audience! Want some fries with that?”

Gort will make me see the movie. If he weren’t in it I’d definitely pass.

But right now, Gort is boss.

I get a kick out of these trailers that pretty much depict:”We’re all screwed!”

I’ll definitely be checking this out, but probably in a matinee showing. It looks entertaining, at least.

I expect at the end of the film Klaatu falls in love Helen and sacrifices himself prob taking out Gort, The Sphere Craft (prob under total control by more Gort units) see’s this compassion for the humans by Klaatu and decides to give mankind 50 more years to “do it better”…

As the Sphere lifts off back into space Helen looks up and screams, “Why!!!”.

The end.

Let me know if I come close Rob,,, as the Day the Earth Stands Still, I will prob be sleeping in.

The only thing I was asking myself permanently: What has that to do with the original story?

Looks more like another War of the Worlds-remake to me.

If they really want to remake an invasion-story, why not try THIS ISLAND EARTH?

ZAR.
