ben F @BenFranz 6 days ago I love Reeves and Connelly but they couldn’t save this movie from being just a 2.5 star remake production. Since the original, this kind of film has been done so many times before. See more Jovana M @J_loves_movies Oct 11, 2026 Keanu was so silly as an alien. The entire premise of the movie was executed poorly, while it had a chance to be a good one, it unfortunately turned out quite opposite. See more Clayton H @mrpopcorn Oct 7, 2026 I liked a decent amount of the journey of this film, but the destination ended up being a pit stop bathroom off the highway.. Child actor Jaden is absolutely terrible, but more just written to be so annoying. Worst written character drags the whole movie down several stars. Unnecessary to the movie in any way. The aliens reasoning for destroying And saving were both ridiculous. Outside of a few cool scenes, cool music, some interesting concepts, this really leads to nowhere. The payoff isn’t there. Needed More GORT!! And intensity. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 27, 2026 This is a remake of a Popular Movie thus my 1 star rating... See more Robert S @bobcat1020 Sep 22, 2026 I hated this movie. The original was noted for being the first sci-fi movie where the aliens weren't the bad guys, and this version made them genocidal instead. Originally, Klaatu was here to warn us that while the universe didn't care what we did to each other here, we needed to change our warlike ways before we left the planet, because when we did, we would find that the universe was a peaceful place that would not tolerate our savagery nor hesitate to destroy us if we attempted to spread it. In this version the aliens ARE the bad guys who will exterminate humanity if we don't change our evil ways. I don't object to them making this movie (as bad as it is) but calling it a remake is an insult to the original. Not to mention that the title doesn't make sense because unlike the original the Earth never stands still. See more Frans B @FransB Sep 16, 2026 Not as bad as made out to be. Forget "original and remake" and some such. The movie has it's own intrigue and ambiance. Very capable cast all excels in character. Well written and directed. Very capable cast all excel in character. Great storyline and interesting communiqué. Fascinating and captivating. (Oh, and we {us earthlings} will most definitely NOT change 😜) See more Read all reviews
