masque12The remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still wasn't the absolute piece of dogshit I suspected it was going to be.
Unfortunately, that's about the highest praise I can give it. Sure, the effects were cool, but effects do not a good movie make.
It was utterly, utterly mediocre.
Tomorrow when I get off work I think I'll pop in my DVD of the original, and watch Michael Rennie do it right.

The phrase was supposed to be in the remake at the end, but I never heard it.
