the day the earth stood still

[OogyWaWa]

why didn't this movie get more advertising and rep? i never even heard of it until i saw it on tpb. not the best movie i've ever seen, but as far as alien invasion thrillers, it wasn't half bad. i mean, the ending was kind of quick, but, i enjoyed it. anyone else seen/heard of it?

I saw it and was not a fan. I know it is a remake but still....

No advertising?

It's a remake of probably one of the best classic sci-fi movies - but starring Keanu Reeves and updated with what appears to be a Michael-Bay-meets-Al-Gore 'plot.' It do not do well in the eyes of ATOT.

Sums it up completely, i took a stab at the ending right in the middle of the movie and was right...

Of course you heard nothing about it, it got horrible reviews. Watch the original.

The movie was like the Titanic ... doomed to failure. How they thought they could improve on the original is beyond me.
