New York Post - Lou Lumenick
: One of the big problems here is that, despite much exposition, the nature of Klaatu's mission on Earth isn't at all clear.

One of the best movies I have seen. Good story, Keanu Reeves was great as always. It made you think about what can happen to the world if we don't take care of it. | | | | Reply | | |

The movie was great disappointment for me. I have never seen such terrible acting. It was a total waste of a remake. | | | | Reply | | |

I highly enjoyed this movie. Nice updated remake. The cast was uniformly good, the visuals were excellent, and film itself was thoughtful and moody. | | | | Reply | | |

Overall a good movie. The story line was good, acting was also good. The visuals were amazing with great special effects. Although the movie was a little vague at times, but it really made the viewer thinking about what is happening next, which made it that much better of a movie. | | | | Reply | | |
