Saw the Day the Earth stood still:

[Brock Samson]

 I saw it on IMAX but despite the heightened perception IMAX affords the viewer it was only "pretty good" my fav. scene was when G.O.R.T. was supposedly captured in a Govt. containment facility,.. but the real reason for seeing the movie was Jennifer Connally who is indescribably scrumptious...  yum - yum - yum!
The other problem i had was the somewhat anti-climatic ending which had no where near the punch of the original.
 

  PS:
  the previews (after 35 minutes of inane commercials) for Star Trek and the Watchmen especially, on the IMAX screen were alone worth the price of admission. $ 15.00.

Yeah, I went to see it last night.
I wasn't really impressed.....but just seeing Jennifer Connolly again was worth the price of admission.
It was the perfect vehicle for Keanu Reeves though - he has only one personality in movies - the perpectual stone face. The new Buster Keaton.

For some reason, the movie bothered me, so much so that I woke up this morning still trying to figure out whether or not the earth's power ever came back on....
Too many questions left unanswered.
I saw the new Bond film last week....another stinker.
This makes the second movie in a row that I've seen where the audience was left hanging at the end.

ok so no need to spend the money in the theatre and hire a brand 'x' movie instead

BTW I canceled to see it tonight, maybe I won't go watch it at all, now.

Jennifer Connally who is indescribably scrumptious... 

I couldn't agree more!
I haven't seen it yet, but probably will just to see Jenny.

"Inventing The Abbotts"
"The Hot Spot"
"Of Love and Shadows"
"Mulholland Falls"
"Waking The Dead"
"Requiem for a Dream"
"House of Sand and Fog"

I'll give ya'll one guess as to what these movies have in common with JC.

"SCHAAAAWWWWIIIINNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It don't seem to work?

[Mike DC]

I saw the previews for Day/Earth.  I can't figure out how the large-scale planetary destruction in the preview had anything to do with the plotline.  I've seen the original and this one looks odd to say the least. 





Keanu Reeves is probably just right for this.  He's got the right combination of expressionless delivery and odd un-earthly-ness about him. 

It's basically a Jesus role when you think about it.  They really clubbed you over the head with that idea by naming him "Mr Carpenter" in the original.

 Great Point!

So... is this a move about sex?

Depends on where you sit....

From what I can tell, the Reeves character is basically the alien version of Al Gore but with the ability to eliminate all cars and humans instead of just wishing he could.

Now that's funny!

That makes sense. They both have about the same amount of charisma.

so whats the plotline  (Save me 10 Bucks)

so whats the plotline  (Save me 10 Bucks)

I just saw it and the plot is pretty simple. A group of intergalactic environmentalists invade our planet to save Earth from our destructive ways with a plan to haul several examples of animals and marine life off the planet (think Noah's Ark), destroy humanity and all it has created and then repair the damage before reintroducing the animals into the human-free environment. The Reeves character is the alien "instigator" of this plan and the charms of the lovely Jennifer Connally is all that stands in his way. I won't tell you how it ends but suffice to say you're still alive and reading this message. The gist of it sort of reminded me of the "save the whales" Star Trek film, #4 was it?

Sounds like another Hollywood enviro crap movie. No thanks.

[CB]

Well I went to see the movie and yes I kinda liked it.
Yes I agree with Brok on the same scene  (G.O.R.T. captured in a Govt. containment facility)
It was a good afternoon movie with (for) the kid, some popcorn and Cola.

I thought it was ok too. I'd have rather waited for video though.

The best part of it IMO was the extended trailer for Terminator Salvation. Now that looks good.

I'd rather not actually PAY to get my "all humans are bad for the earth" propaganda for the week, thanks.

However, I'll probably rent the video...gotta have my Jenny fix. I'll just mute the damned thing when she's not speaking.

She looks a lot better with some meat on her bones. In this flick it looks like she's now a full-fledged member of the "Emaciated Hollywood Chick" crowd.

Fixed

I dragged my wife to this one, cause she likes Keanu and I like Ms Connelly.  When the movie ended we turned to look at each other and all I could say was one word.  "Sorry".  It's hard to believe that Keanu could be any more expressionless than this, unless he was wearing a rubber Keanu mask.  I SOOOO wanted this to be good, but I guess I'll have to settle for Jennifer being Jennifer!

[Silver R/T]

movie wasn't too bad, there's much worse movies out there.
