The day the earth stood still

Sci Fi with Keanu Reeves

Not to give too much away....its a first contact film about an Alien (Reeves) and his giant robot who visit earth.

Well i love Sci-Fi movies and TV shows, and i like Keanu Reeves too.

However this is one of his worst not because the acting or the special effects are bad, but because the story is terrible.

This is a remake of a much older film (1951) alot of people dislike the film for not being like the original... i havent seen it, so im reviewing this film on its own merit.

A good film should have a good start middle and ending.
This starts ok, if a little slow... and never picks up the pace.
had lots of potential, but its as if, the writers lost interest part way in!

anyway... its one to avoid in my opinion

I have to agree to a certain extent, he often has such a blank look on his face, it often appears as thought he has forgotten his lines

He did well in Devil's Advocate, alongside DeNiro (not that Charlize Theron naked made the film any less appealing )

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
