  This movie was so boring. ALL the characters were mundane, And the acting was bad. On top of all that, the CGI part did not pay any attention to details. I feel sorry for the people who paid $15 for the I-Max version.

  Rental. This movie isn't terribly bad, it just doesn't have much going for it. The freaking alien looks human throughout the entire movie. I would of liked to see him shed his skin and show some ugly alien or somethiing. But like I said, it isn't terrible. There are some scenes that kept me going. If it were more like the original, or better, I would have liked it more.

  I went to see this movie with my boyfriend, and afterwards we both agreed that it needed a new catchphrase: "The Movie of which The Trailer is Better than The Flick itself!" I mean... What a HORRIBLY boring movie! I was so damn disappointed, the only thing good about it was that we got a discount on the tickets!

  That's disappointing. I was hoping that this movie wouldn't be that bad, but then it's not surprising. Anytime they do a remake or a sequel nine times out of ten it's done with the deliberate intention of sucking big time. Anyone remember "The Invasion"? Give me a break. Just stop with the remakes already!

  Aaargh this movie pissed me off! I'm gonna give it a very low Rental, the original was a masterpiece and this was a flat, uninteresting pass at a remake. Sure, the special effects were great, and it offered some interesting ideology (that is if you're 12 years old) but the acting sucks so bad and they should've made gort look more modern if anything...

  Well I've never seen the original, but I thought the movie had some good concepts and metaphors like the sphere's being arks and the alien being born with placenta and all, lol. The lil kid was getting on my nerves though, the part where they were at the grave of his father it would of been good if the dad would of come out like a zombie, lol. And as for Keeanu he is forever with a blank stare and emotionless, in every single role he portrays so no shocker here... I actually thought his character was supposed to be that way and that it was a good role for him being that that's the way he is. I would give it a Low Matinee, because of the special effects.

  Yeah, this movie wasn't that great. However, I have no problem with product placement in films. Who do you think funds a lot of them? The McDonald's scene with Keanu Reeves and that alien posing as a Chinese guy was done tastefully. No pun intended.

  I just saw this movie today and holy shit it was bad, Granted I have not yet had the chance to see the original, but I know for a fact that one is better than this piece of shit. They didn't even say the famous phrase for God sakes!

  This shit right here is one of the worst movies of there year,staight up.. with the exception of Jennifer Connely the acting was non-existent.. I like Reeves but would someone please give his ass a role where he isn't wherin' a fuckin' suit and lookin' like past roles..i thought his ass was gon do some matrix shit or possibly excersise some demons... and im glad someone felt the way i did about Jayden even if that was what the role called for... but in a nutshell this was a big ass let down for me 'cause i thought that this was gon be some good shit..one of the last movies of the year and this could have been a last of the year bang for '08

  I hate it when old movies get disrespected like this. The day the Earth Stood Still didn't even need a remake damn it.

  Damn Korey. Hope the rest of your trip went better than that movie.

  For the love of God, stop with the remakes. Especially- like Korey said- ones considered classics. To me, when someone helms a remake, it's their way of saying, "I can do better." It's downright insulting, especially when the end product is a hollow, CGI-heavy mess. As most things are nowadays, remake or not. We haven't mastered the "art" of CGI effects to use them as dependently as we do now. Practical sets, makeup, and animatronics will ALWAYS look better than something computer-generated.

  I'll regret saying this but I may go see it out of sheer boredom.. of course you'll be right about it.

  To tell you the truth, I was probably not going to see this anyway. You can't remake classic that easily. Good special effects aren't the only thing. Maybe I'll see it rental back-to-back with the original to compare.

  Hey, great review as always guys! I also can't stand all those shitty remakes of classical films.
