On the Lighter Side- Movies- The day the earth stood still (2008)

I just finishing watching " The day the earth stood still". It is a 2008 science fiction film remake of the same name in 1951 with better special effects and not so top name actors. It stars Keanu Reeves as a alien who has come to earth to warn them not do destroy it and in the process destroys half of planet earth. It also stars Jennifer connelly as a scientist trying to convince him not to destroy it. It also stars Kathy Bates as the Secretary of Defense trying to destroy Keanu.
Overall it is a good remake with good special effects and an effective time killer.
The movie does not drag along and if you have not seen the original version you will definitely enjoy this one. Otherwise as the science fiction movies goes, its special effects are not that over whelming but the acting of the leading characters could be more enhanced.
But given the story line, any actors in this movie would have been the laden with the same wooden acting. But i will still recommend this movie.
