Last night , the new big - budget remaking of scifi classic The mean solar day The Earth Stood Still debut about 7 and a one-half minutes of newfangled footage , and it ’s pretty darn shuddery . kick the bucket are the subtleties of 1950s acting , replaced with amazing new office for Klaatu and CG spheres that will blow you away . First off , they could n’t have cast a better stone - faced , devoid - of - emotion actor . Keanu Reeves , this is your mo . Unless they ’re re - cast the Borg from TNG . in earnest when did golem - face become this man ’s signature , and do you conceive in him as Klaatu ? Also , check out the space man ’s fancy raw powers of thinker controller . That will sure enough mix in things up . It look like this film has truly been changed from a bare warning for Earth to an all out alien attack . Have we lost the ability to have aliens in flick and make it interesting without all of the CG ridiculousness or did K - Pax ruin that for us ? I will say one matter about TDTESS ’ 08 I ’m enjoying the fact that the update do seem to jive with actual government procedure . I wish that they closed down all the street and shoved him in a super - secret underground bunker .
