The Day the Earth Stood Still Ratings & Reviews
- Atif Chaudry7d agoTerrible!
- TomVaderJuly 4, 2025This is an OK retelling of a classic movie. It's worth a watch if you enjoyed the original, otherwise it's not really notable.
- Vincent ReggianniniJune 20, 2025If pretentiousness was a disease, this would be SHAIDS - Syphilis, Herpes and AIDs all wrapped up into one. It’s almost cartoon-level snobbery - as if the Flintstones tried to read Shakespeare. The director must have forced the actors to ham it up at gun point. If you make it 30% of the way through this nonsense in one sitting you are either doing it to yourself as punishment, or you have lost all levels of consciousness.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024So much wasted potential here.
- jackmeatMay 14, 2025My quick rating - 5.6/10. No matter what they did, this remake would never pack the punch the original had. The reason being, it was a fresh concept then, and therefore an easily shockable audience. Still a decent sci-fi flick that doesn't go with high action and a load of effects, but just sticks with the story. Aliens arrive on Earth, and their first encounter will decide how the aliens proceed. Well, I think you know how humans would react and act accordingly. Keanu Reeves isn't a big stretch in his role here, being an alien in a human body. Somewhat perfect for the acting role really. The message in this one is simple and concise. I still enjoyed the movie for what it was, just not something that has recreated the sci-fi genre like this movie actually did in 1951.
- Jørgen SlingsFebruary 24, 2025Mediocre acting and very poor remake
