Its a remake of the old classic with the same title! thumbup.gif
Slight change of story plot though, IMHO its for the better.

1951 Trailer:

The synopsis--
- The classic: a humanoid alien comes to Earth to warn its leaders not to take their conflicts into space, or they will face devastating consequences.
- This year: the film updates the Cold War themes of man against man, to the millennial concerns of man against nature.

News: Keanu Reeves is Klaatu. Yes, NEO IS NOW AN ALIEN! thumbup.gif

The first one was borne out of the cold war and nuclear d�tente. Klaatu came and was saying cease and desist with your violence. If you can't do it yourselves we're going to do it. That was the film of that day... The version I was just working on, instead of being man against man, it's more about man against nature. My Klaatu says that if the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the earth survives. I'm a friend to the earth.

Classic? The original one is so lousy, IMO.

How do we define classic anyway? Simply because it's old?

I like the idea, very totalitarian. (I dont support totalitarianism, I just like the idea)

But keanu is a wood, a handsome wood, but a wood non the less.

So unless the supporting characters and plot is great or keanu suddenly became great at acting .........

I might still see it though.

International Day The Earth Stood Still Trailer

There’s a new international trailer for The Day the Earth Stood Still. I’m still not a fan of the generic death smoke which seems to be everywhere in all of the ads, and Gort continues to look like cheap CGI, but this one contains some other pretty cool new footage in addition to the fog of doom and badly rendered Gort. Best new moment in this trailer has Keanu Reeves being asked “Why have you come to our planet?” to which he ominously responds, “Your planet?” Must see.

Watch the new trailer below:

'Earth's Vital List' Asks, What Would You Save?

A love a good interactive marketing campaign, which is why I'm telling you about 20th Century Fox's "What Will You Save?" a cool viral program dedicated to The Day the Earth Stood Still, which arrives in theaters December 12th from director Scott Derrickson (Exorcism of Emily Rose). The program is called Earth's Vital List and it is a fun social networking exercise where you choose what you would hypothetically save if the earth was being demolished.... (iPhone? Girlfriend? Pet? Taco Bell?...) Click here to check it out. Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor’s appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of Klaatu calling himself a “friend to the Earth.”

9 New Day The Earth Stood Still Images

Fox has given us nine new images from The Day the Earth Stood Still. Yeah it’s a remake. Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor’s appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of Klaatu calling himself a “friend to the Earth.”

Any1 know the running time of the movie? Hope it's at least 2 hours plus to flesh out the storyline and characters. Just scared it will become like I Am Legend. Good plot but too short to really develop the story.

What Will You Save When The Earth Stands Still?

user posted image

I took a philosophy course once where we discussed the impact of death. In an attempt to simulate dealing with that impact, the teacher led us through an exercise where we mentally had to face losing everything that was important to us. It was a grueling exercise that left me feeling emotionally drained.

Thankfully, 20th Century Fox isn’t going quite the same route with their online ad campaign for The Day the Earth Stood Still, although they are asking you something similar. The trailers alone make it look like mankind is facing the end of the Earth in the remake of the classic movie, so Fox wants to know what you think is vital enough to save. You have until 12/12/08 to list your vital items and get enough people to vote for them that they will be saved when the Earth stands still.

Make your vital list over at The Earth’s Vital List and then get your friends to vote for your items through social networks like facebook and MySpace.

I will say, I think this is a cool little social networking game, but beyond that it’s not much use. Trying to find my vital item (take a guess at what you think it is) yielded no results when I used the site’s “explore” feature. Oh well, hopefully I have enough friends through the social networks to save my little show.

12/12/08 is The Day the Earth Stood Still… or at least the day the remake comes to theaters.

I hate Fox. I really do. They could have planted a tree or something instead of this! And to screen a movie inviting aliens to blow us up? If we die, I'll sue Fox in hell.

What's your take on the movie? From the scale of 1 - 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. Also, how many hours was the movie?

Its quite a decent movie and its a fresh addition to the long list of animated movies around now..

I love Keanu Reeves' acting so i wont really comment on his acting.. tongue.gif He was convincing playing the alien and at certain scenes its like watching him play agent smith from the matrix.. laugh.gif

Give the movie a try but dun put too much expectation from the movie..Juz treat it as a normal movie and im sure u'l enjoy it.. wink.gif

What's your take on the movie? From the scale of 1 - 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. Also, how many hours was the movie?
*
Tell you what, watched it earlier expecting hollywood rubbish - and i was right.

1 point for insane modern CGI
1 point for plausible acting from Jennifer Connelly
1 point for showing the demise of pathetic characters

final score is 3/10. and im being incredibly lenient this time around.

bring your PSP, Nintendo DS, or any entertaining built-in mobile phone games to the theater if u insist on watching this crap. you're gonna need it half way through the show, believe me.

This is so not cool... I was so looking forward to this movie and I guess it's an abandon ship... I think I'm just going to wait for the special version to be out, if you know what I mean.

Exaggerating as usual biggrin.gif Connelly's acting, i'd give a thumb down.

If you are expecting epic, no this is not THE movie. Watch it with an open mind; it's mildly entertaining. I loved the robot whatever-you-call-it.

the CGI isnt as epic as war of the world, it seems like they cut budget on the robot or something.

The first half of the show was awesome, suspense sini, suspense sana.

But secondhalf was MEH.

oh ya, that black kid, just shoot him off, damn annoying!!

I luv the proffesor!!

And what happen to all the world leaders? this american movie makes as if America represent the whole human race, stupid subdimental message to show america>China( sry to drag politics in )

3/5. decent. was expecting more

wat i find most dissapointing is that the movie doesnt give this realistic feel of it happening.
It doesnt really show the ppl in chaos, or somethnig.

Its like, the people dont feel anything, i dont feel it.

The movie fail to potray that.

The movie should give the fear of the end of the world, watching war of the world was kinda horrified due to the fact showing how desperate human become when they are in crisis, killing one another just for a minor gain.

But this, nothing, i see a hot MILF, a alien in tuxedo, and a afro kid who will turn into the next GTA star.

probarly that's not what the director was trying to focus on,...simple scenes explain lots when Keanu says that he isnt here to save the human race, but earth itself.

I say This movie is much much better then Armageddons and Deep Impact in terms of delivering the message of the movie.

Armageddon show off a bit of Nasa/America saving the world bla bla bla with thier technology, while this movie shows u no matter how powerfull u are u wont save anything by ego alone.

lol u gay.. imax theater? this movie seriously horrible la.. i dunno whats with ur keanu.. i watch it to kill time oso tak boleh tahan

some people here say the message is very clear, and i can't argue with that. Humans are ignorant to the very end and we've been taught since young that we are more superior compared to other living beings on earth. But that doesn't make a movie good. The execution was poor, the overall acting was plausible at best, and with some extra redundant bullshit added with modern CGI - you get a 2008 remake.

simply put this movie is a mess. Jumper had a similar message as well - selfishness in humans. but i believe everyone saw the final product (which is horrible)

The idea is not new, when going into the cinema, I pretty much very sure that this movie is going to talk about, even though i didn't read the synopsis nor watching the trailer. The title already explains it.

But I come to watch this movie because I want to see how the human react to the so call end of the world... but it does not stress that. Ya i love that robot too, I think it's a symbolism to the voice of earth. Human are trying to destroy it but failed, so he got too angry and fight back.

Actually I don't really like they mentioning too much about US this and that.

I expect more visual excitement at first, but it showed less...

The message of the movie is clear, but the presentation is so so only.

========

now i looking forward to the movie "2012" instead.

Very good and meaningfull movie, enjoyed it and recommend to all. Earth don't belong to us. It belong to all life form. We need to save earth from humans. Absolutely true.

Please watch this not as an action movie.

kinda average standard hollywood issue sci-fi. start wif potential but the finishing is kinda dissapointing. never saw the original so i dunno how close this one is to the original.

i just watched the movie...as for me,i think it is quite meaningful and exicting because of the graphic and sound effects in the cinema...the movie try to warn us about the climate effects and environmental problems which we had recently...if we dont act fast,i do believe that our planet will end up somedays just like in the movie...my overall rating for this movie is 8/10...

wat i find most dissapointing is that the movie doesnt give this realistic feel of it happening.
It doesnt really show the ppl in chaos, or somethnig.

Its like, the people dont feel anything, i dont feel it.

The movie fail to potray that.

The movie should give the fear of the end of the world, watching war of the world was kinda horrified due to the fact showing how desperate human become when they are in crisis, killing one another just for a minor gain.

But this, nothing, i see a hot MILF, a alien in tuxedo, and a afro kid who will turn into the next GTA star.

Nope, there is no mistake about that as I heard the same thing too, in the trailer. I haven't watch the movie yet but not really that tempted to watch it. I'll probably wait for the ticket price to be at RM5, just for the cinema experience. LOL...

Watched this movie last friday. Well, its true most of the forumers said here. The story lacked depth and any good interpretation of the story. I do wonder if they did justice to the original movie, or is the original sucked just the same.

Personally, I feel keanu reeves did a decent job depicting an alien. I mean he is the only actor in Hollywood who is good as acting like a wood. The female character is just good for ooggling....nothing much to expect from her. My favourite scene was when Klaatu met with the professor and discussed about the impending doom on earth. I mean that kinda opened my eye about life. IT does has some kind of truth to it.

Ending was dissapointing though. In all, it failed to impress most of us about the message. I'd probably would like to see what happens after the onslaught. Or perhaps what klaatu brings to the galactic meeting.

Oh yes, its funny I watched both The Day The Earth Stood Still and Transporter 3 and have Robert Knepper in both movies. If you guys are a fan of him, you should watch transporter 3 where he is Mr. Johnson (mr. bad guy).

I like the scene too and i wished it was longer but i can't remember the dialogue between them. All i can remember was, sorta like alien also the same.. blaa blaa, give humans some time to learn.. bla blaa..

The storyline is good, but something is missing in the show. Lack of special effects, lack of depth, lack of suspense, and everything was done in a rush.

The boy was really irritating and it beats me why they did not replace him with a teenage daughter or something. and having a black boy to a white mother does not really reflect the 'reality' in the USA today. It reminds me of that irritating brat in War of the Worlds.

Nice try to inject some 'family' values into the show, but I feel it's misplaced, inappropriate, overdone, and irrelevant in the scifi genre.

The story is too short, ending kinda predicted similar to Fantastic 4: Silver Surfer, effect quite nice, T-Bag was nice ^^...

I like the argument between the professor and the alien about the human race...

i wonder why they always like to portrait aliens as no idea in relationship/feeling. aliens are so advance in tech, mean they will have a sophisticated brain also wat... themselve should have those kind of feeling as well..

Haven't watch this movie yet. The title seems a bit of unrelated with the film. When I look at the title, i thought the movie is about the doomsday. Never thought it is about alien invasion until i saw the promo poster.

albeit the fact that there aren't any action packed moves or romantic feelings in the movie(i know...added two in spells boredom) but i think that it's quite 'futuristic' and it highlights the very important problem of mother earth....but i guess most would just take it as an entertainment and wouldn't take it seriously lor even when they are trying to educate ppl.

Funny how a superior race (the aliens) with advanced technology and even more superior community couldnt figure out that the humans too had the capacity to change when faced with certain doom. Similar predicament to Klatu's race.

This is movie is quite anti-action, the best bit for me was when the gigantic robot initially appreared and was about to unleash hell, but instead was ordered to chill. Such anti climax!

This movie doesn't sound logic.

If the Aliens want to come to earth
1) They should first contact earth leader by radio, this will avoid mis-understanding fire shotting.
2) Discuss with Earth leader about the damage that human have done to Earth. Not simply come to earth and say "You human have done too much damage to Earth, to save Earth we have to kill you all."
3) Provide help to human on how to solve the environment problem.
