About this product

Product Information

A remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic of the same name, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL follows astrobiologist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) as she is unceremoniously plucked from her everyday life with her stepson (Jaden Smith), and whisked away to consult the government on a top-secret matter. That matter happens to be the arrival of a massive glowing sphere in Central Park, accompanied by a towering robot-like protector dubbed Gort and an alien ambassador named Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), who takes up human form to communicate with the people of Earth. When Klaatu finds himself faced with hawkish, uncompromising officials, he goes on the run with Benson and her son as the fate of the world gradually becomes clear.Directed by Scott Derrickson (THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE), this reimagining of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is fairly reverent to the original film, while adding a number of 21st-century elements, most notably a darker tone embodied by a more threatening Gort and the chilly, contemplative Klaatu, who is portrayed with pitch-perfect remove by Reeves. While the film--and the fate of humanity--rests on Reeves's shoulders, the cast is impressively filled out by Connelly and Smith, along with Kathy Bates, John Cleese, and familiar TV actors Jon Hamm (MAD MEN) and Kyle Chandler (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS). Derrickson also tempers excellent special effects with a bleak color palette and plenty of existential turmoil, making this EARTH a thoughtful and fascinatingly moody blockbuster.

    WO RADICALLY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SAME STORY!

    These movies are 57 years apart in execution and outlook. the 51 release is black and white and has a iconic score by Bernard Herrmann. The 08 release is in color and has dazzling special effects. Both titles depart from the source material, FAREWELL TO THE MASTER. All three are engaging : to say more would involve spoilers.Classic, timeless and timely science fiction K O

    I wanted to enjoy this movie more than I actually did

    I already owned the original ‘50’s version starring Michael Rennie, and I’m a big fan of ‘50’s sci-fi. I had great expectations for the remake starring Keanu Reeves, but the story, the screenplay, was just not that good. There were good moments, and the actors were all good. I was just disappointed in the remake.

  • This is one of Keanu Reeves better movies and a really good remake. It looks great in HDX and all in all it's just a fun popcorn movie.

    This is an awesome edition of the movie and a great remake. My only complaint is that it does not include a digital copy.

  • Nice 3 disc set!

    Nice 3 disc set! Includes Blueray of the original along with the new version. I found the movie engaging , entertaining, just wish they would have did a better close ending of the new version. Both versions are good though a bit different, which is OK. It's good to get different perspectives of a story line.

  • The day the Earth Stood Still

    a Retelling of the 1951 original story. While the new stor ywith Keanu is a good visual storey, the original movie, done in black and White provided more of a character-based story, not depending on all the CGI of today. Both good stories for their time.
