The remake of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is getting lousy reviews. Its 27% at Rotten Tomatoes. Well, with Keanu Reeves in it, my expectations were somewhat lowered. It comes out Friday and I was really looking forward to seeing it. Now I am hesitant. I wonder how other scheduled sci-fi remakes are going to fare?

I was afraid it would be a stinker. But I do like Keanu in his deadpan alien guy mode. If it didn't cost me $12.50 a pop, I'd probably still go see it.

A shame, and Keanu's role was going to be such a stretch for his acting. :laugh:
Naw, it didn't look that good from the previews and what endeared the original to everyone wasn't even hinted at in the previews.
