The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

When did humanity become taboo for movies?

Having never seen the original, I wasn't sure what the storyline actually was, but I liked what I saw. The movie had a really interesting, and somewhat thought provoking, story. Some of the parts were a bit slow and I think they could have done without the entire "dead father" story. Still, I enjoyed watching it and discussing the movie afterward.

Regardless of people's political, religious and other views are, the movie is FICTION. What is the deal with people getting angry over the message in the plot. Are all alien movies now anti-god because people view that humans are the only race in the universe so we cannot even discuss other possibilities? Why are people so up in arms about the idea that human's could hurt the world or the people in it?

It simply amazes me how two different people can see completely different things in the same movie. I just wanted to be entertained and that is what I was. If you like sci-fi movies then you will probably like this. If you only like movies that have storyline that are feel good to watch and don't bring up humanity then maybe you should skip this one.
