The Day the Earth Stood Still

This is not the classic old film but the shiny new one starring Keanu. It is actually a decent update. I did not like the idea of it being remade that much. But they had a good twist on it by making it about the fact that we are killing the planet for all the other species tha.t live here and that cannot be allowed to continue.

Unfortunately wha it cannot have is the context of the first flm that was released at the time of the Cold War hence far more paranoid time.

What works well about it though is Keanu. In thiskind of role where he is asked to play uber cool he can do it better than anyone. I liked it but not that much
