The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008 720p Bluray ... Info

The 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still is a visually striking but narratively thin sci-fi thriller that shifts the original's Cold War nuclear warning to a modern environmental message. While the 720p Blu-ray provides a significant step up from standard definition, the film's reliance on CGI over character depth left many critics and audiences cold.

The story follows Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), an extraterrestrial emissary who arrives in a massive glowing sphere in New York City's Central Park. Unlike the diplomatic visitor of the 1951 film, this Klaatu is a herald of potential extinction for humanity. His mission is to "save the Earth"—not from an outside threat, but from the humans destroying its biosphere. The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008 720p BluRay ...
