Finally got around to watching this movie. The reviews were a little harsh. Unjustifiably so, I thought: 'Klaatu is played as a very unhuman character.' Well duh!
I thought it was a very well done update of a classic, one of very few remakes that can claim that! Other than the disappointing, but understandable considering the audience, ending (spoiler - humanity survives). Though to be fair even on that, the movie managed to present the only coherent justification for humanity being allowed to survive I have ever encountered. In Klaatu's place I may well have changed my mind too.
All up, I'd say this one is a keeper - worth pulling out and re-watching multiple times in the future.
