    The Asylum do it again. They take a recent Hollywood smash and smash it to pieces. Granted the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still wasn't exactly great, but this film is just pure crap. It looks cheap and it feels cheap and takes itself far too seriously. At least with 10,000...( read more),000 Years BC,The Asylum had a lot of fun. Same goes for Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus. When characters spout out their philosophical views, morals and ethics you get this unnerving feeling that the actors are taking this seriously. Now that is scary. It did however do well in turning the main alien into a hot (in a porn star way) female.

    What a lump of crap. I see the so-called super reviewers on this movie don't even know the difference between the new Keanu Reeves movie and this crapfest. OK guys, 2 totally different movies, TWO different titles. Super Reviewer my ass.

    Typiical Americanised remake of an old 50s favourite which once again shows the US military as brainless macho gung-ho meatheads. With military friends like them who needs enemies?

    Very much like "The Day the Earth Stood Still." And it was entertaining. Certainly worth the try if you're a fan of the original film. But beware, it is chock full of plot holes and movie mistakes.

    This movie sucked and was a total waste of time. Luckily, I work at a movie store, so I didn't have to pay hard earned cash to rent it.
