Fantastic remake, 2010-07-27
I hesitated when this movie came out at the cinema seeing only a few preview clips on TV. br /I even asked a few co-workers if they had seen it and they scoffed at it. br / br /So going by that and having seen and really liked the original, I did not see this movie at the theater. br / br /I regret that now. I just picked up the set sold here with the remake and the original BW version and let me tell you now, this is quite the deal here. br /Two very good movies at a very low price. They are practically giving these away. br / br /The remake is really good. Good cinematography. Excellent story. br /This is good science fiction. This is how good science fiction is done. br /I skimmed some of the reviews here and saw the ratings on the remake. br /These people don't know good science fiction when they see it. br / br /The story in the remake is the same yet better than the original because it adds a lot more fantastic details as to why Klaatu is there on Earth. br /All of the fantastic visuals really add to the story. The original borders on camp, but you have to remember when the original was released. br /There is also lots of good suspense in this remake as there was in the original. br /I'd say the suspense here is even greater because this remake, as I said has a lot of really fantastic visuals. Excellent remake. br / br /As I said, I am sorry I missed this when it hit the theaters when it was first released. br /I liked the original and this remake is one of the best. br /Definitely much, much better than the remake of "The War of the Worlds".

It's a fine diversion, 2010-07-23
There is nothing particularly wrong with this film. The outcome is pretty much expected from the beginning. The effects are good. The Hollywood-style quotient is high. It seems like most of the bashing is primarily due to remaking a classic, which may have been a bad idea. For the price, it's a fine weekend afternoon diversion.

Under-rated, 2010-07-19
This movie is so unrated. Sorry nostalgic folk, but I thought that was a bad movie, poorly done, with dad unknown actor, well thanks I got soooooooo much more then I expect. This is a very good movie. Another thing, yes it comes with the old one and yes it is different in some way but both worth every penny. Please get it, it's a good movie, allot of action, good story, nicely done, good CG, powerful and dynamic sound and for 15$ for an excellent blue-ray, plus the original is flawless restore in 5.1 DTX, 1080P, 16:9... It's a deal, well worth it. br / br /I hate to say that but this movie is under appreciated by old nostalgic critics who think everything was better done then... br /If you are one of them don't waste my time crucifying my English or my opinion LOL br /
