Short Review : The Day The Earth Stood Still!


Given the amount of hype created around this movie, ud expect to be blown away.
And thats the basic problem with over promise and under delivery.
What this movie does it start of strong flounder all over the middle,
and end when the interest just starts building, leavin the IMAX experience,
wanting. The story revolves around Klaatu, an alien with human form, who drops
in on earth for earning against impending distruction. His companion, a mammoth
robot with equally alien powers, who provides the only eye candy in the movie. Wish
he played the lead role. Enter Jennifer Connelly as Helen Benson, the only support
for Klaatu on the doomed planet.
As much as the movie contains a lot of messages, on humane good will, the screw - up
with nature and other green topics, given the nature of the movie, it really gets
dragging. While the plot moves quite fast, the short duration of the movie, makes you
wonder if it was closed off abrutptly.. Finally you exit the hall wishing, a second part would,
show up to satisfy the expectations.
