The Day the Earth Stood Still
Directed: Scott Derrickson
Starring: Keanu Reeves Jennifer Connelly, Jaden Smith, John Cleese
Trailer
Synopsis: A remake of a sci-fi classic where Keanu Reeves plays an alien who comes to Earth.
My Take: I didn’t think anyone was really clamoring for a remake of this movie.
RT Score: 20%
RT Consensus: Heavy on special effects, but without a coherent story at its base, The Day the Earth Stood Still is subpar re-imagining of the 1951 science-fiction classic.
