otforme08 We thought we were getting "The Day the Earth Stood Still" out of the Redbox. My fault....need to read the fine print better. What a disappointment. The trailers to the other movies before it started had us thinking we had rented a porn. We should have known. After 40 excruciating minutes I am in typing this review. C Thomas Howell looks about 60 and I never could figure out where Judd Nelson was. Maybe too embarrassed to be obvious as to his character was. The "aliens" were never shown up close and looked something like a junior high science project or a Sesame Street character....I think he was SnuffleUppeGus. Our Redbox dollar would have been better spent on the homeless man that was panhandling us as we were renting this.

ckdrew It just wasn't up with the times in terms of effects, I think as a kid I would have liked it but now as a supposed adult, I found it a little ridiculous.Acting was sub-par except for the main Josh character. Quite a few disconnects in editing.Didn't like the girl main character, she was too model-like, not sci-fi enough.I think another movie just like this came out last year with Canoehead Reeves that I remember. That movie was better simply because the effects were better. The acting was also sub-par in that movie but I liked it better than this one.Sci-Fi not up to par lately. Going to review Star Trek next.

RoswellOne If this is a "B Movie," then grade inflation has certainly hit hard since the fifties.This is more like a D- movie, and that only because I'm feeling charitable.How awful is this movie? Let me count but a few of the ways: The acting is atrocious; the music one-note and distracting; and the scenery depressing and repetitive. Pretty much everything in it is unbelievable, from the ridiculous handling of the aliens by unprofessional morons who are each others' worst enemies, to the previously mentioned baby, born clean and dry and three months old in the back of the car.The "science" was non-existent, and the premise far more vague than in other the-earth-is-about-to-end type movies. Did I mention the writing is horrible? About the only good thing in the movie was the megaliths, and they were pointlessly anthropomorphized.My husband brought this home from Red Box, and that's a dollar and an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back. I would have stopped watching, but didn't want to leave him by himself.

Greg Hynson I would have given this movie a -9 rating but the scale only lets me give a 1. Do not bother wasting the bandwidth to D/L this movie. The acting is just horrible, I've seen home made porno's with better acting then this crap. My dog could do a better job of directing, and the persons who directed this poo should be banned from ever making another. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the actors did not post their real names in the credits as to not let people know their real identities. It's very hard to sum up enough words to describe this really bad waste of an hour and 30 minutes, but this stupid review has a ten line minimum summary.
