111208; the day the earth stood still

i'm not going to be too elaborative on this one. sitting on the very first row SUCKS big time though.

so, it was about some extra terrestrial objects (spheres to be exact) that crashed down into various spots on the earth, and the biggest one which eventually produced the main star (keanu reeves) and some huge robotic indestructible thingy (which, i must say, the artists really need to go back to the drawing room for this one). so keanu reeves, acting as the alien named "klatu", was on a mission - to save earth. note how he so cleverly disguised his actual intentions by saying "earth", NOT "earthlings" nor "humans" for that matter. of course, as a natural human reaction, everyone got a huge shock and things started to get a little rough for our foreign friend, with co-star jennifer connelly (acting as helen benson if i'm not wrong) helping him along and playing a rather big role in this movie as well.

so then, the american military finally devised a method to trap the huge robot and brought it to some military research facility. by then, the "process" had already started. the robot has the ability to disintegrate itself into (insert any huge number here) of metallic-looking grasshoppers that in turn, have the ability to turn any (and i mean ANY) material/object into its buddy (yes, imagine your television "corroding" into those bugs). now, away from all these destruction, klatu witnesses the other side of human beings - love, and how true feelings reveal themselves in times of adversity. what unrolls from the plot was something straight out of some anime, klatu's heart melted and he got touched by the sight of helen and her son hugging each other (with tears rolling from their eyes), so he changed his mind, and proceeded to save mankind then. how? just by touching that ball of swirling clouds and light. easy as abc, 123.

done with my mini-review. i missed out some parts, but gah, who cares.
oh before i forget, overall rating - 3/5
