The Day the Earth Stood Still

So i just got back from watching another crap movie, The day the earth stood still.

It started off ok, standard aliens invading + random sci-fi stuff. Then it became a bit too "War of the Worlds". The shit one with tom cruise as a stupid single dad with an annoying daughter and a hero son.

In this movie we get a white chick and for some reason she has a black kid, well it's not really her kid. The kids mum died (unknown) and then Dad hooks up with the white chick and then he dies. You'll never guess how!! The iraq war!! To make things worse the kid is will smith's son.

If I am watching an end of the world movie I DO NOT care about kids, I don't give a shit about who their real mum is I don't care who his Dad was and I don't want to hear him. There are more important issues here! We are all going to die!!

Why the hell do they have to add these crappy subplots.

So the basic story is Keanu Reeves is just some random dude in the ice (80 years or so ago) who finds this big orb, he touches it and from that the aliens get his DNA. They come back in this big orb that is heading towards earth (america) and the yanks assemble a bunch of scientists to workout what to do.

The orb lands, an alien thing comes out, an idiot shoots it, out pops keanu reeves he also has a big toy robot thing. The rest is pretty uninteresting, the aliens came to save planet earth from us cos we are destructive, they have a bunch of these big orbs that attract animals to them (noah's arc).

Anyway the stupid american's do their best to kill Keanu Reeves and his big toy robot cos Aliens who have mastered space travel aren't likely to handle gun fire or missiles. The stupid black kid and the white woman have a cry at the dead dad's grave and Keanu decides not to kill us all off.

That's pretty much it.

Annoying things about this movie

There is a scene where the kid is playing WOW on his laptop.
There is a random arab scientist who introduces himself to the white chick.. umm why? token arab is the new token black
Keanu meets this old asian guy who is an alien that has lived as a human for 70 years, guess where they meet??? Freaking McDonalds
