It's obvious that the 'agenda' of the movie took precedence over any kind of good writing. And I’m not sure if Reeves does a very good or a very bad job of portraying Klaatu. I haven’t seen the original movie all the way through, just the first half or so . . . but I think I liked the original better in terms of writing. But that was a different generation then too . . . so maybe it’s apples and oranges trying to compare the two. When I left the theatre I look at my friend and said ‘Well I don’t feel like I need my money back, but I wouldn’t go see it again or rent it’ to which he replied ‘at least it had good graphics and special effects’.
