The day the earth stood still

Looking at the trailer this film looked OK, It didnt look amazing by any means. But I did aspect more from this film.

I really dont know what to write about this film...because to be honest not alot happened to write about. The whole films plot and characters just didnt sit right with me. From the very begining I could tell it was going down hill. It was a typical American action movie, at the start something is about to come in contact with the earth so they send for all these top scientists.

Just like in all the action movies...why? Its like your a doctor, you have a fancy title you must know something about aliens. But they didnt even ask them about it, it was kind of like heres the biggest discovery of the history of the Earth...stand back and watch how I shoot at it. Nice eh...that missile just there added a nice touch dont you think?

It was all abit of a bosched job, I completely disengaged from it early on. From what I could see there was alot of running about and not much action...god dammit I payed to see an action movie, where is it? Far too much mono tone acting and just plain silly plot lines.
Yes that robot thingy over there...how's about we put it in a really, really big box and drill a hole in it? Can we shoot at it a few more times though?...urm OK if you must.

From what I could tell the 'Aliens' came, they saw then walk about for awhile...not before destroying a few buildings in the process. What? there was no point in that what so ever. Also about 12 product place ments per shot, was really getting distracting. I swear some of the shots where stolen aswell...those shots of empty New York I swear were near exactly the same as the ones in 'I Am Legend' and the last scene of hiding out in the tunnel...Cloverfield people?

All together as Paul put it 'I felt like I havnt seen a movie and I've just been in a coma' That pretty much sums it up for me too. The characters have near no development, the kid gets anoying after awhile. All together just making for a poor movie.
