I guess they forgot all about the original ending penned by Bates to his short story “Farewell to the Master” on which “DTESS” is based. I’m amazed Bradbury didn’t point that out to them. Does anyone know if this version uses Bates’ original ending?

Knock at the spaceship door,
Who's there?
It's Kaatu; open up.
Klaatu's not here, man.
No, it's me Klaatu, let me in!
Klaatu's not here...

I like my version better, we build our own spaceships and travel to Klatuu’s world and blast them to dust.
We don’t take crap off of busybody aliens.

I find the message of the original movie to be comically hyppocritical. “Obey our message of peace or we will destroy your planet.”

Thanks
“Harry Bates(1900-1981) not only wrote short stories, but poetry, plays and novels. He was editor of ASTOUNDING STORIES+STRANGE TALES. Bates also acted. He also wrote under the names of Hiram Gilmore Bates III, Anthony Gilmore, A.R. Holmes and H.B. Winter”
Perhaps he also wrote under the name Ray Bradbury.

The remake is a globull warming diatribe. They want to kill humanity because we’re driving SUVs and drilling oil which is “destroying” the planet.
Hollyweird can’t even do remakes right.

The new one is a remake of sorts.
Instead of “disarm or we will destroy you” it’s “stop killing the enviroment” I kid you not.
This according to those who have seen it on IMDb.
This is a Youku movie if I ever saw one.

From what I’ve seen of the trailer it seems he plumbs all of the acting ability he has.

Absolutely hilarious. You have a good memory. Kinda like what Hitler said to Czechoslovakia.
You know how the liberals are: Do what I say, not as I do.

Yeah, that was goofy, as if the aliens could care whether we blow ourselves up or not any more than we would be inclined to stop a colony of balck ants from attacking a colony of red ants.

So is this new flick a remake or a sequel? From what I've seen so far it's more of a 're-imagining' like the upcoming Star Trek movie is supposed to be.

Exactly.
During the 1950s Hollyweird screenwriters were subliminally pushing the Communist agenda.
Now they do it openly.

I enjoyed the original sci fi movie despite its liberal agenda: disarmament. I kinda liked the twist on the plot that was in a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode where the aliens landed and we're going to destroy us unless we cleaned up our act PDQ. The UN and etc. got together and came up with a global peace treaty in response only to find out the aliens were going to wipe us out because we we're violent enough for them.
