"The Day the Earth Stood Still" Review

Movie: The Day the Earth Stood Still * Official Site * Trailer In Theaters: Dec. 12, 2008
Runtime: 103 minutes Directed by: Scott Derrickson
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for some sci-fi disaster images and violence Three and half Gecko Gecko Rating:

I’ve always thought that Keanu Reeves had sort of wooden acting abilities, which makes him perfect for this role, since he plays a humanoid-looking alien. Although I wouldn’t say this remake of the classic 1951 film is a great movie, it still has some nifty special effects.

It begins with a huge spherical object landing in New York’s Central Park. Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) is practically dragged out of her home by law enforcement officials and shepherded into a waiting aircraft carrier, along with several other scientists. They’re taken to Central Park, where the group approaches the object and Helen makes contact with a strange being exiting the orb. Of course, the military shoot the creature on the spot.
