If you watched the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still, I would say it is a good and entertaining show. What you read from newspaper about how bad it was, I would disagree. As an ordinary viewer, I do not care if the actors show good facial expression. What viewers want is consistent exciting scenes after scenes. It is definitely not boring. So what is the movie about? It is usually the normal alien invasion. But there is a sub plot. The alien explains that there is a united galactic federation of planets out there. So why Earth isn't one of them? That isn't the main reason. It was about Earth being heavily polluted that the Aliens are here to wipe out humans and their polluting activities to preserve the planet.
But I see a hidden message there. Humans who are given leadership in crisis have arrogant attitudes and would use violent to solve the problems and to show us who the boss is with their missiles. The Secretary of Defense, a lady who is the highest command in the country since their president and vice president had went into hiding. She wants the Alien to be interrogated instead of showing peace and being friendly to a guest entering visiting you. She would use missiles to attack the aliens. In the end, she had to leave it to the main characters to communicate to the alien while wasting away half the country. We sees these arrogant humans in movies all the time and it might happen to any real life leaders too.
Did you notice the giant alien guardian's model is similar to Amazo from the Justice League Animated cartoon?
