I'm a big fan of sci-fi films, but this remake is pretty bad. The plot is sloppy, the acting is bad, and it really just didn't make much sense. The whole film seemed absolutely pointless. I love end of the world scenarios, but this was just crap. However, the graphics were mi...( read more)
Don't know about the earth standing still but it felt like time did watching this. For gods sake Keanu, get some acting lessons!

Uh, yeah, so morbid curiosity and cable got the better of me...
It's not completely awful, but it's rather pointless in the end, and while Jennifer Connelly is easy on the eyes, you can find her in better stuff than this nonsense.
Rental at best.
Liberal theme, global warming, man is a cancer, we all need to give up all our things except for the royalty. (liberal elite) We are destroying the planet about as much as real aliens are. Manmade climate change, global warming, ,whatever you want to call it, was created to com...( read more)
