Title: Thanks for Saving Me Pain
Review: I have been a fan of the classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still" since I was a little boy and saw it in the theaters. In those days, the big fear was nuclear destruction. If you could get your brain around aliens coming for a visit, it wasn't hard to accept Klaatu and Gort as representatives of a galactic police force here to make us do what we apparently couldn't do for ourselves.I know that directors and story writers take some liberties when a remake is done. The "War of the Worlds" remake stayed close enough to the original movie and, by the way, the original novel that it was both a good flick and a well done screen play. Of course that was Spielberg and unfortunately this was not.It's a sad thing to see good talent and a good story maligned and denigrated by a bad writing and poor direction
