Much different take than the first. Could have been a lot better. The "end of the world" (or so it seemed for most of the film) never felt so boring. Skip it if you're skeptic.

I love the original and this one was not bad. I was impressed. It is not as good as War of the Worlds in remake comparison but I still found it entertaining. I loved the beginning but it felt long winded and copped out at the end. Not bad.

Terribly dissapointed

What a piece of crap. I never saw the original, so I can't compare, but this thing was painful to sit through. What a horrible premise. It started out good, but as soon as he puts on the suit it went down hill. Jaden Smith shouldn't be in movies. I almost said he shouldn't be acting, but i wouldn't call what he does acting. Kathy Bates was almost as bad. Keanu works as an alien because I think he is one.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

If you ignore the obvious product placements, bad dialogue and Jaden Smith, this movie was actually pretty entertaining at times and there were some pretty cool visual moments. Also Keanu Reeves was born to play that role, the only time the fact that he can´t act didn´t matter

I Sat Still And Watched

I have never seen the original version, but I really enjoyed this one. Is it a perfect film? No. Does it have flaws and gaps and unanswered questions? Yes. But overall I was thoroughly entertained and remained completely interested as I watched it. I feel as though I need to see the classic version now, for a comparison, but overall I liked this movie and I loved Keanu in it.

It is very interesting to me to see this movie being remade.  It doesn't look a whole lot like the original (much darker).  With Reeves as the lead it could be decent (not because he is a good actor but he could be good for the role).  I typically hate remakes, but this might surprise.
