The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951 and 2008) Recap - The Oz Network Movies

We have something completely different to bring you today as we cover not one, but two movies in the same recap as we talk about the original 1951 The Day The Earth Stood Still and the 2008 remake. What changes were made in the 2008 version that actually improved on the original classic? How many more changes just did not work at all? Why are both versions of Klaatu completely lazy when they had one simple job to do? How important is the original in the history of sci fi films? How does the remake unintentionally present Klaatu as a real villain and terrorist? Why is the biggest debate between the two films on which kid is more annoying? And does Keanu being in any movie instantly make it 20% better? To translate - Klaatu barada nikto means download this recap now or face the imminent destruction of the human race. Or just make up your own mind and we'll see what you decide. The interpretations are endless.
