After reading a review-slash-spoiler of the movie two hours before actually watching the movie last night, I had this sinking feeling this movie was heading in the direction of Tom Cruise's War of The Worlds-logic. Could Keanu save the day..for me and Medulla?
Turns out reviews can sometimes be wrong. And in Keanu's case, biased. Despite being a remake of the original 1951 black-and-white film of the same name, The Day The Earth Stood Still is thoroughly enjoyable even if the premise of the show is somewhat environmentally cliche - planet Earth in danger of dying..due to abuse from humans..in order to save planet Earth, need to get rid of humans. Plus Keanu makes such a believable alien (yes, I do admit his dimwit reputation does affect his box-office ratings but that's something I'm willing to overlook *hehehe*) that I can't imagine any other actor in the role as Klaatu, although he does show his age in this movie (again, who cares!?!)
In the meantime, I'll be dreaming of Keanu tonight *DROOL*
