In our recent movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still," many things ran through my noggin when I was watching the movie. Here is a quick review of the movie:
The movie takes place in Washington in 1951 when atomic bombs were being created and further experimented. At a random time and day, a UFO comes flying down onto a baseball park. The people of Earth are in a panic because of the alien. The "army people" take the alien to a private room and a general tries to talk to him. He presents himself as Klaatu and explains that he needs to talk to all of the nations in the world because the planet is it great danger. The general refuses his request and Klaatu decides to leave. In the end, the "army people" decide to kill him but he comes back to life through his robot friend, Gort. Klaatu then gives the Earth a decision to stop making atomic bombs, or die from an explosion.
Pretty intense stuff.
I thought the movie was very good. They used pretty decent futuristic ideas and special effects. Since this was one of the first sci-fi movies, the belief that aliens were coming to destroy the world was extremely over dramatic but it is understandable because we thought that hiding under a desk would save us from an atomic bomb. There was a lot of accidental comedic relief which I really enjoyed. Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone because this is one of the most popular sci-fi movies ever and I believe that everyone should watch it. :]
