saeed T @RT37809958 May 31 I actually really liked this movie. Even though the special effects are very much a core part of the movie, I think Keanu Reaves fits the role of Klaatu very well, I also was touched by the part where the kid asks Klaatu to revive his father, it was a good use of the one thing that the kid saw. The guy in the flash chamber who didnt let the scientist leave the airlock but later was denied leaving the chamber himself, was also a pretty good scene and played a role in actually showing the hypocrisy of us humans. The child actor himself was very annoying though, he likely doesnt see helen as his mother or even someone important to him considering he barely makes a reaction as shes literally reeled away from him into a helicopter, I dont think he was fit for the role at all to be honest and he bought the movie down for me personally as he just infuriated me but the rest of the cast were pretty good. The movie also didnt make much sense at all but thats a story for later. See more Ibrick T @Ibrick May 10 Good story, great effects. Great cast. Can we change in order to save the earth from destruction?

The script, tho, is really terrible and cliché. Of course it has to be in NY. And what about the explanations about the beginning, what exactly is this extraterrestrial entity and the things related to it ? no real answer. The end is as empty and pointless than the beginning, and again, cliché and far from being realistic in therms of human emotions, decisions. Like, it's only after seeing 3 individuals that the "alien" decides not to erase the human race? Man, military response after seeing an extraterrestrial entity for more than 2 seconds is to shoot at it, like, wtf? (even tho we all know USA government response could be that way ; profoundly dumb). Three humans said the entire human race will change and that's it ? He believes it ? It's pathetic, but again, it was 2008 so just for that I'll give it 2 stars instead of one. But it was painful to watch, even with such a good cast.
