Average Rating: Rating: - To bad Gort doesn't work at the UN. I'm sure we would have gotten rid of Saddam along time ago. But that's another story for another time,,,,,i digress.This movie proves that you don't need computer generated effects and million dollar budgets to make a great motion picture as this. Actors back then knew how to act. The combination of Patricia and Michael says it all. Just look at their facial expressions during some of these tense scenes. This is a great motion sci-fi movie that still holds up to anything in this 21st century. The THX re-mix is great especially on a THX system. This is an extremely powerful movie that does make you wonder if........ Rating: - ONE OF THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES EVER!!! This is without a doubt one of the best science fiction movies ever made (along with "2001", the original "INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS", the Hammer classic "QUATERMASS AND THE PIT" and "COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT") and more than deserving of a first-class treatment on DVD. And 20th Century Fox has done that and then some! This is one terrific disc that all lovers of film should own (not just SF nuts). The picture and sound are both superb. The extras are bountiful, including 5 still galleries, 3 trailers (for "TDTESS", "JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH" and the Raquel Welch/ Hammer film "ONE MILLION YEARS B.C."), a 70-minute documentary on the making of the film that is very interesting and informative, including interviews with director Robert Wise and stars Patricia Neal and Billy Gray, plus, the best bonus of all, the entire shooting script of the film. FANTASTIC! This thoughtful and intelligent film is even more relevant today than when it was made. Its message of peaceful co-existence is heart-warming. Too bad the human race can't learn to live in peace. Many have stated that if Klaatu knew how little progress we have made since his journey to earth, he'd be disappointed. Maybe. But at least we are still confining our wars to just our world and not threatening the other planets, our space program being in a directionless shambles. We are no threat to the universe, just ourselves. So Klaatu can rest easy and Gort can cool his jets. We're much too primitive a people to threaten the safety of the universe. At least, for now. Klaatu barada nikto. -George Bauch. Rating: - Klatu-Barata-Nikto! Not only one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, but one of the best movies of all time. They don't make them like this anymore. Wonderful story and great actors ,all working together, giving brilliantly subtle performances. Not like most of todays hammy "look at me aren't I wonderful?"(no) celebrities. This movie sends a message of brotherhood or doom, which is as timely now (more so,unfortunatley)), then when it was made. From the very beginning, as the story unfolds, you will be captivated and intrigued. And all this is accomplished with NO annoying computerized special effects.(Call me old fashioned.)Just a great, great film. And when you see Patricia Neal hurriedly going to the park at night to send spaceman Michael Rennie's "Klatu's" urgent message to "Gort", the robot, you are seeing one of the most memorable, goose-bump filling scenes in motion picture history.Forget "Independence Day", watch this classic film. It's the real thing.
