The Day the World Stood Still

Went to see it yesterday. Was OK, nothing startling though. I thought it was very very predictable and, even though a sci-fi movie, pretty much unrealistic. What happens in the movie isn't really THAT far fetched if you believe there is life on other planets, but our portrayed nature is WAY out in my opinion.

 

At the end of the day i think it is worth a watch, whether its worth the ticket for entry is debatable, but it is definitely a movie that is best seen on the big screen. Its not the special effects extravoganza advertised though.

I'll stick with the original, personally. I was kinda looking forward to this, as I thought it was time for a remake, but I don't think it looks like the right remake IMO.

 

Saying that though, I think Kanoe should be good in an emotionless role, as he does that so well ;)

 

This role was made for him.... seriously. If there was a "wooden" actor award, he would win every year.

I love the original but fear that this will be a preachy remake with some unnecessary CGI sections tacked on so that the brain-dead cattle that go to the multiplexes can have something to talk about because let's face it, the actually point of the film will, no doubt, go right over their heads.

I was surprised at how under whelmed I was with the CGI. I was expecting some blistering effects but I wasn't bowled over.

Maybe that’s deliberate to highlight the whole message of the movie.
