I'm not going to write a long review for this one because, quite frankly, it really isn't worth my time. This film is terrible. I've never seen the original all the way through so I'm not looking at it through the eyes of some fanatical purist. I'm sure there will be plenty out there who will scoff at whatever changes have or have not been made. I am not one of those. I just think that as a multi-million dollar piece of cinema, this stinks!
I saw this with a few friends and one of them said that the film quite simply lacked any tension whatsoever. They hit the nail on the head. It just plods along slowly from one dull scene to the next. It is very badly acted, to the point that not even Jennifer Connelly can save it.
The not-so-special effects do not even come close to stirring any excitement within the viewer and the characters are so annoying you will wish for Klaatu and his buddies to destroy every last one of them, starting with the kid.
From start to finish this just feels monotonous. Every scene has been lifted from a thousand other (and no doubt better) science fiction films. Keep hold of your money. Do not waste it on trash like this or they will just keep churning it out. Awful!
