The Day the Earth Stood Still Looks… Interesting

Sat, Nov 1, 2008 (Movies, Video)

This is an extended 5-min trailer for the upcoming The Day the Earth Stood Still movie.

The thing that interests me the most about these world-catastrophy type movies is either what happens to us, or how we get out of it. Movies like Independence Day solve that problem by throwing layers of absolute retardation ontop of the problem to solve it while movies like War of the Worlds are a hair more believable, but still suffer the Signs-problem, more specifically: “Why didn’t a hyper-intelligent alien race realize the planet they were invading would kill them?”

In the trailer for The Day the Earth Stood Still, all I see happening is mankind getting straight pwned. I have no idea how we are going to save the planet in this one, but I’m still interested.

And as far as Keanu Reeves’s acting goes, I’ve never had a problem with it. He’s a freaking alien, he’s suppose to be deadpan. I dig it.
