The Day The Earth Stood Still (2008)

This might be the biggest disapointment of 2008 (and there's been a few). A pointless attempt at remaking a film that was written for its time.
The plot rambles aimlessly through a series of events without really going anywhere good and eventually ends up trying to force a message upon you and fails miserably.
The message being that humans have a negative effect on the planet. How uninspired?
However, that's not the only thing that ruined the film, Keanu Reeves may be one of the brilliant sci-fi actors of the last decade, but he is terrible in this film. An over the top attempt at being emotionless doesen't get my approval. Jennifer Connelly boosts the film a bit, but not even the best actors in the world could save this disaster of a film.
