After 103 minutes, I was still disappointed, who only had expectations for big scenes and computer special effects. To be honest, the most exciting movie, and it seems that the scene with the most special effects, has all been included in the trailer. Yes, it's not a so-called "stunning glimpse" at all. For example, the black smoke-like object in the trailer devours the city. I thought there would be more exciting scenes in the movie, but in fact it is still only the truck and the football field. And the rest of the special effects part can't be seen as the work of the special effects company that made "The Lord of the Rings". Maybe it's because of the lack of money.
However, the true face of this black smoke surprised me. I wonder if the screenwriter of "Lost" borrowed from the original version of this film. So if you look at this movie as a regular sci-fi movie, rather than a disaster sci-fi blockbuster like Independence Day, there may still be a little surprise. But even if there are surprises, it should be attributed to the original. If you happen to see the original again, this movie will only make you feel more dull.
If the original version was intended to reflect the Cold War, the new version is preaching about environmental issues. Yes, it's an environmental issue again. Some of the lines in the movie will make you want to laugh, just like science and education films and environmental protection propaganda films. I just hope that the screenwriter's efforts to promote environmental protection can really get results.
KEANU REEVES has no expression from beginning to end, just wearing a suit to play cool, not acting as an alien at all, he is clearly a robot. In my opinion, the most shocking part of the movie is that KEANU speaks Chinese. Jennifer Connelly has always been one of my favorite actors, and she's not bad in this movie, she's done her job well. Jaden Smith is WILL SMITH's son, right~~ not bad, not bad~~ very talented in acting. Kathy Bates played an obnoxious character who was annoying to watch. It is worth mentioning that there are only a few shots but the extremely handsome T-BAG~~ After running out of "Prison Break", he can finally show his face in a Hollywood blockbuster~
In fact, there are only a few remakes. The most shameless and untechnical ones are the American version of "The Grudge". The new version injects new blood into the original version and is a great success, such as the American version of "Infernal Affairs", but there is no way to please the audience who liked the original version. The best result of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" should be a remake into a disaster sci-fi blockbuster, full of special effects scenes and environmental awareness, such as "The Day After Tomorrow", but the actual result is that the special effects are not enough, and environmental protection is too much to say Instead, it is full of clichés, mediocre aptitudes, and people don't even have the desire to watch it. So the next time Hollywood wants to remake any classic movie, it must be cautious and serious, otherwise the disappearance of the remake will not be far away.
To quote a fan on IMDB: This is why remakes should never be made!!!!
