Not Enough Gort
Having just watched the trailer for the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, I'm filled with uncertain curiosity. The original is one of my favorite classic science fiction films, mostly because it tells a good story and Michael Rennie plays Klaatu with such elegant charm. When I think of Keanu Reeves, the word "charming" doesn't come to immediately to mind. Sure, it's fun to watch football stadiums get obliterated and giant spaceships emerge from the water, but I also remember what Tim Burton did to Planet of the Apes. Undoubtedly, I'll buy a ticket for this movie, but my expectations will remain firmly in check.
