*My 2 favourite movie quotes* - "You don't seem to know much about anything, do you, Mr. Carpenter?".... (and).... "Klaatu barada nikto!" When it comes to the Sci-Fi sub-genre of "Alien Visitation" flicks, I honestly don't think that they get much more intelligent and thought-provoking as this sparkling gem from 1951. If there are other such "Alien Visitation" flicks out there (other than E.T.) that do promote this satisfying level of genuine intelligence in their stories, then I would sure like to hear about them. (Please feel free to message me with their titles) Impressively directed by Robert Wise, The Day The Earth Stood Still actually did manage to deliver quite a seamless and evocative blend of the ordinary melded very nicely with the fantastic. This is the sort of motion picture that really gives the viewer the pleasant opportunity of actually getting to know (and, maybe, even like) its characters. It's true. Trust me - In spite of its flaws, The Day The Earth Stood Still is, without question, a classic Sci-Fi/Thriller that's certainly worth its weight in gold.
