The Day the Earth Stood Still

This is a remake of the 1951 film but surprisingly I quite like it. With enough action and CGI to keep the adrenalin going ... or maybe my expectation wasn't that high. Movie started on "Keropok" mountain in india, couldn't remember the mountain name, should be close. KR was there camping for the night, and encountered the alien which merely took a DNA/skin sample of him.

Then came back to present, Connelly as Dr Helen Bensen was some don't know what gist and was urgently brought into some facility with a room of full of other experts. They were told something was crashing onto earth in 78 mins. And with the speed the thing was coming at earth, it was impossible to stop it, they were brought there to do the "Aftermath".

The thing landed. Humungus sphere like object landed on Central park. Army, police, airforce and the team of experts arrived. Something walked out, and some KT shot the thing and seemingly wounded. Then another thing came out, a robotic creature indestructible and electronically disabled all their equipments. The wounded alien told the robot to stop and it was brought back to the facility for treatment.

The alien was Klaatu, send here to save the Earth, as his outer layer of don't know what came off, his human body was of KR. This started the race for Helen to understand why Klaatu was here and what does he want.

The hilarous part was when Klaatu met someone, seemingly one of them in a Mcdonald restaurant. A chinese guy, then they started talking in chinese, kaoz ... wonder what was that for ? Sound so wierd as chinese came out of KR's mouth. Even more hiong ... after a while, they went back to English.

This guy was send there to evaluate and audit the inhabitants of earth. His verdict was people are too stubborn to change and this seriously hurt earth.

But ironically, he refused to leave as he was attached to here and in love with everything he had. Anyway,

Klaatu started his process of saving earth ... AKA killing every person on earth and restoring it.


But then eventually, Klaatu began to understand something, with the help of Helen. People has the highest possibility to change when on the brink of danger and also there was another side of the people on earth. It ended well but with some question marks. 7/10
