The Day The Earth Stood Still
December 26th, 2008
Another remake of a classic, the movie has aliens and machines that are meant to destroy the earth using alien technology far advanced than what we have on earth. Though greatly expanded on, the movie has environmentally conscious beings who travel to earth bringing with them technology we can only dream of. Curiosity is quickly turned to fear as that technology turns against us disintegrating anything on contact. The original story had humongous giants sent to earth to kill everything that moves. Klaatu played by Keanu Reeves, is an alien who is dressed as a human sent to study the people and culture of this earth trying to study and learn as much as he can. Gort is an indestructible alien which does all the destroying takes clues from Klaatu as to what to do, created to patrol the universe to keep the peace. Klaatu dies in the end but not after passing down the words “Klaatu Barada Nichto” which is to be spoken to Gort to stop him from killing off the human race.
