Sinopsis(1)
Remake del clásico de la ciencia-ficción de 1951 que cuenta la llegada a la Tierra de una comisión extraterrestre con la intención de mostrar su desacuerdo con las pruebas nucleares que se están realizando en el planeta. La adertencia es clara. Si la Tierra no cesa en sus experimentos atómicos y espaciales, serán atacados por las fuerzas interplanetarias. Pero el recibimiento que se le da a la expedición es desconfiado desde un principio, e incluso hostil. Sólo Helen confía desde un principio en Klaatu y su robot Gort. (20th Century Fox España)

No ofende ni cautiva, y definitivamente no satisface, ya sea en términos de trama o en el aspecto técnico. Scott Derrickson alterna momentos agradables que invitan a la reflexión y emotivos con otros puramente visuales, pero el primer tipo es escaso y el segundo es cliché y poco original. Y el resto es solo relleno sostenido solo por las actuaciones de Jennifer Connelly y Keanu Reeves. Aunque estos dos tienen poco que hacer aquí, apoyarás a Jennifer desde el principio y en cuanto a Keanu, le creerías incluso como un extraterrestre, a pesar de que sus expresiones faciales son las mismas que en todos sus otras películas. El pequeño Smith asusta, igual que la pequeña Dakota hace unos años. Como director íntimo, Derrickson no era la mejor opción (el personaje de un general del ejército, que actúa más como un carpintero paleto haciendo poses en el garaje, es un intento fallido de ironía). La película tiene un agradable «encanto de ciencia ficción», pero es demasiado cautelosa e insulsa. Se queda corta en la inevitable comparación con La guerra de los mundos de Spielberg que fue una experiencia mucho más emocionante a pesar de todas sus fallas.

A worthy remake that does not put its predecessor to shame. The original was released in the 1950s, during the raging Cold War, and spoke with much more urgency, so the pleas that "We can change!" in the current version sound rather empty, but technically, it's clear that this spirited little sci-fi film has benefited from a modern coat of paint, especially in the character of the alien guardian Gort, who surpasses his predecessor in terms of impressiveness. The charismatic Keanu Reeves certainly didn't disappoint, but I'd love to shoot the whiny Smith to the Milky Way.

This really was a failure. Visually weak, retarded ideas, it flashes here and there is a decent atmosphere, but otherwise the sky is gray and no rain falls from it. The frowning Reeves and his Golem bring a message from the stars, but they find themselves in the middle of a flood of clichés from traditional disaster films, including the stupid family crisis of a beautiful astrobiologist. The result is a confused ride from place to place and boring chatter about humanity to the sound of Bach and the machine gun cannonade of the US ARMY. And when there's nothing to show, we get an unraveling as if from a goofy hippie trip. This is not about simplicity of thought, but rather simplicity of presentation. Derrickson tripped up nicely with this, and his version of the sci-fi classic is neither a sexy spectacle nor a film with a solid idea. It is worth considering that in terms of balance and the presentation of a simple agitating idea, the new version cannot compete with the original whatsoever.

A surprisingly respectful remake of the original that goes a little off the path promised by the trailers. With its surprisingly intimate atmosphere, it plays the family card, which in some moments unnecessarily pulls the otherwise very good spectacle into pathos. The film is carried by excellent actors, great special effects, and by the skilled craftsman Derrickson, who can evoke both moments of absolute tension and thrilling popcorn rides where a giant black cloud takes out trucks and football stadiums. I might have expected something a little different in terms of a Christmas blockbuster, but the result is certainly not a bad one. I give it a weaker four stars.

After the almost hateful reviews that absolutely trashed the second half of the film, I expected almost anything except a pretty normal ending, which is actually considerably better than Independence Day, for instance. Last year’s genre relative I Am Legend also was much weaker. In short, The Day The Earth Stood Still is unlikely to become a new classic, but if I had to pick between it and any destruction orgy from Emmerich, I would choose Klaatua hands down. The director did his work with panache, delivering many scenes with a perfect atmosphere, and if I had to complain about something, it would be the script, or rather, the family storyline, but even that was bearable.
