But on reflection, the premise of the original film was pretty stupid too. The idea that nuclear war on Earth threatened anybody but ourselves was and is laughable.

Yes, it was an extremely condescending attack on the Cold War by peaceniks.

I loved how asinine Klaatu's message was: Stop using nuclear weapons or we'll commit genocide against you.

I watched this movie not too long ago and if I remember right,his message was."(I'm paraphaising here)You guys can kill yourselves,but if you take this out to where we live we will destroy you."
