Have you guys seen this movie? What did you think of it? Have you also seen the original version? Do you think the remake did a good job?
I've seen the movie before Christmas and I liked it. Plot-wise I think there was certainly room for so much better in a lot of places, specially towards the ending. I'm a sucker for spectacular and unexpected endings, and this movie lacked both of these qualities. On the other hand I like the message they sent out about us and the way we treat this poor planet. It made me wonder about things for a bit, and I'm certainly not the ecologist type of person. What definitely impressed me: visual effects. They were truly stunning and really added a lot to the value of the movie.
Though I had my doubts about it, I think Keanu Reeves did a good job as Klaatu (and this is not the fan in me speaking), although, in some scenes, some poses struck me as extraordinarily identical to some of his poses in Constantine.

It was good, I made a similar story about how an Alien race watches humanity as it colonises planets in the future, and watches as we begin to kill the planets we colonise, and they grow fearful, not of what we are, but they grow afraid of what we might become, and they set out to Annihilate us for the greater good, and Humanity must fight to defend itself.

After seeing the 1951 version and the 2008 version, I have to say the original was better.
The new version just didn't translate as well, and they changed a few key elements that shouldn't have been messed with. I think the new version was a gigantic steaming pile of crap. The original, even though it's very dated, still can't be surpassed when you're looking for great quality sci-fi.
