[CE2949BB]

The original 1951 film carried a timely anti-nuclear
message, but this film wouldn't dare offend anyone
by even mentioning the phrase "global warming."
- Katey Rich

Although there is an admirable attempt to stay true
to the higher aspirations of the high-class source
material, the new effort is undermined by the need
to fashion itself as a crowd-pleasing blockbuster,
loaded with exciting special effects.
- Steve Biodrowski

Judging by Derrickson's bland, poorly executed
version, there was no urgent reason to remake Robert
ise's 1951 sci-fi classic.
- Emanuel Levy

It really is the perfect "family" holiday thriller
(the edgy side of Christmas) and carries a message
that is so perfectly fine-tuned to our problems of
today it might actually make you feel a little guilty.

This Earth could have moved if they had embraced the
heart of Starman. Too bad they settled for a half-hearted
Independence Day.

25% on the ‘matometer — it looks like we didn’t have to look past the awful previews. The critics saw the writing on the wall.

I still say they might have rescued it with keanueu had played Korg and they brought Christopher Lee in to play Klaatu.

 Sounds like they've resurrected David Manning.
