This movie is a remake of the original Science Fiction film of the same name in 1951. Starring Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, a cosmic alien that happens to be the main character of this movie. It was a good choice casting Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. As we have been used to seeing him from other movies, (Matrix, Constantine, etc.) Keanu always had this stone face character, who makes fiction movies like this, believable. He is definitely “the man”. I’m pretty sure this movie will mark a whole new level of modern special effects.
Synopsis:
A representative of an alien race that went through drastic evolution to survive its own climate change, Klaatu (Keanu Reeves) comes to Earth to assess whether humanity can prevent the environmental damage they have inflicted on their own planet. Klaatu himself already has a negative opinion of humans, and when barred from speaking to the United Nations, he decides they shall be exterminated so the planet – with its rare ability to sustain complex life – can survive. It is up to Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) and her stepson Jacob (Jaden Smith) to convince Klaatu humans are worth saving: but it may already be too late. — credits: http://www.nowrunning.com
