It is supposed to be about environmental destruction, a la “global warming”.

Don’t watch it!!

Is Al Gore the robot? Gore, klaatu barada nikkto!

I did not think the original was really all that brilliant. The “visitor” might as well have been from the Soviet Union with all his high talk about utopia and the end to violence and war. It will never happen (sort of like most of Obama’s tripe). I did like the robot. One cool dude.

BTW, the secret code “klatu nicto verada (sp?)” was used in that wild ride of a film “Army of Darkness”. I think it unlocked the witch or something like that.

I can't even bring myself to watch The Day After Tomorrow, even though FX marathons it frequently.

Most of the destruction movies are silly, anyway.

I watched the original Day the Earth Stood Still on AMC last evening. It was entertaining and watchable, except for the question&answer game show during commercials. AMC could have dropped that and shorted the timespan by 30 minutes.

So it will join “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Inconvenient Truth” in the halls of really bad fiction about global warming.
