Leave your thoughts about The Day the Earth Stood Still.
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonIt's ickily atmospheric, tactile, old-school special effects movie-making. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordKeanu Reeves gives a good physical performance as Klaatu, the alien newly inhabiting a human body, but his utterly humorless alien has, well, an alienating effect. |
| Can MagazineFred Topelt's really true to the tone of the 1951 original, that two people running around talking about philosophical concepts with a stranger. They are doing the talky drama. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongDespite all the fog machines and giant glowing spheres and TV actors excited to be in a big-budget movie, this remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic that gave baby boomer kids chills simply fails to strike any sparks. |
| CinematicalWilliam GossAs a flashy big-budget distraction, Stood Still is adequate overall -- rarely above, occasionally below -- and often familiar in its spectacle. |
| MoviedexAnders WotzkeThose next to me in the cinema staring blankly at the screen gave a remarkably similar performance to that of Reeves without even being aware of it. |
| Movie RetrieverBrian TallericoThe rumbling sound you hear that shakes the theaters playing The Day the Earth Stood Still isn't an awesome sound system. It's everyone involved with the original turning over in their grave. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusA credible effort to honor the original while contributing something new. Derrickson effectively builds and sustains a sense of thoughtful tension - until the screenplay lets him down. |
| TeletextVictor OlliverMany fans of the original will hate it. A pity. Because it redocorates the tale while remaining true to its theme. Keanu Reeves plays Klaatu with all the expressiveness of a wok. I have never seen a wok better portrayed. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyJudging by Derrickson's bland, poorly executed version, there was no urgent reason to remake Robert Wise's 1951 sci-fi classic. |
