Description:
The Day The Earth Stood Still depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort (Lock Martin), to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. After being shot at by military guards, Klaatu is brought to a Washington, D.C. hospital, where he begs a sympathetic but frank Major White (Robert Osterloh) to gather all the world's leaders so he can tell them more specifically what he has come to warn them about. Losing patience, Klaatu slips into the human world, adapting a false identity and living at a boarding house where he meets a smart woman with a conscience and her inquisitive son. Both mother and son soon find themselves embroiled in the complex mystery of Klaatu, his message and the government's witch hunt for the alien.

Amazon.com essential video:
A hallmark of the science fiction genre as well as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a sci-fi movie less concerned with special effects than with a social parable. A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., carrying a humanoid messenger from another world (Michael Rennie) imparting a warning to the people of Earth to cease their violent behavior. But panic ensues as the messenger lands and is shot by a nervous soldier. His large robot companion destroys the Capitol as the messenger escapes the confines of the hospital. He moves in with a family as a boarder and blends into society to observe the full range of the human experience. Director Robert Wise (West Side Story) not only provides one of the most recognizable icons of the science fiction world in his depiction of the massive robot loyal to his master, but he avoids the obvious camp elements of the story to create a quiet and observant story highlighting both the good and the bad in human nature. --Robert Lane

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A chance given.
.So I was watching the last lines of the movie "The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly"...and I'm thinking OBAMA has landed!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sci-fi at it's best
Not a sci-fi movie for todays generation which is a shame. Gore, violence and explosions traded in for acting, atmosphere and great story telling. One of my favorite movies. And as for the "editorial review", Gort didn't destroy Washington. Get it right and get this movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Day the Earth Stood Still
This is a classic film from the 1950's. The first time I saw it was on the late late show in the mid 50's. I am wondering how the new version will stack up to this giant!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Classic!
I remember in the good old days, Saturday Night At The Movies aired this film on TV for the very first time. My family sat riveted to our RCA B&W 21-in. set. I look forward to getting this DVD. A great story line far outweighs any special effects in this movie. Why oh why do the boors in Hollywood persist in trying to redo classic films (War Of The Worlds was totally horrendous compared to the original). I shudder to think what they do to this. I encourage people with minds to get this film.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - How is this blu ray?
Im wondering how they make a black and white movie into blu ray?Im guessing they colorize it first and then turn it into a blu ray movie.I cant imagine how this will look seeing as it was a black and white movie to begin with.
