Okay so I'm watching The Day the Earth Stood Still as I write this, I'm only 20 minutes in and already I've seen Keanu Reeves mind control some guy through a polygraph test, hack a camera with his eyes, and kill people with their bluetooth headsets. So I'm sitting here wondering why Gort is taking over attack drones and crashing into tanks, when He basically sat around and looked intimidating in the original movie. So while Klatuu in the original tried to pass for human new Klatuu making this scientist chick give him rides to the middle of nowhere so he can catch up with his old alien buds and launch a grand assault of bubblecrafts on Earth. Ok so now Klatuu just killed a guy with his police car, reanimated him and then told the scientist he's going to make humanity extinct, meanwhile Gort gets kidnapped by the U.S. government, who coincidentally name it G.O.R.T. Oh look action movie time, Klatuu, scientist chick and her son are running away from helicopters... on foot. Run Klatuu Run! Oh Noes! Scientist Chick just got kidnapped by the government and Klatuu decided to blow up one of the helicopters. G.O.R.T. is pissed watch as he makes a guy a'splode, gets burned by super-fire and then files out the window to destroy every thing everywhere. Scientist Lady and Klatuu have a touching moment as Gort eats some stadium and our favorite alien gets his car bombed by the government, entourage and all. The now nice? (it's hard to with Keanu, he does that emotionless monotone thing) Klatuu saves Helen (Scientist Chick) and her son from evil Gort bugs and fly into them making them all dead for some reason, oh yeah and he disappears too. Why? I dunno really, this movie stop making sense after Helen started carting around the bastard. Then his bubbleship flys off and the little kid says something pseudo-insightful. Credits Roll. Everybody walks away and I stay here typing wonder why they remake good old movies as nonsensical crap.

Soundtrack 7/10
Good for what it is, actiony when it should be mellow when it should be. Points docked for being in this movie

Special Effects 9/10
They look cool but what do they mean, honestly who cares, they have bubbleships and eyeball cameras

Actual Movie 2/10
If it weren't for all the cool explosions I would have give it a 0/10

That's all folks I'm tired of complaining
