Hey Everyone,

Anyone know if there is a bluray review for The Day the Earth Stood Still(1951) around anywhere?

It's at my Wallyworld but wasn't sure if i should buy or not.

Thanks!

Buy it. It's a great film and the Blu-Ray is top notch.

Great PQ/AQ and tons of extras.

P@t_Mtl · 12-15-2008, 05:46 PM

All of the member reviews are good, I have been thinking of upgrading my copy to BD for sometime, I might actualy do it.

I would say a definite buy. PQ and AQ are excellent for such an old film. I was quite surprised with the AQ for a film made in 1951.

hc666 · 12-15-2008, 06:40 PM

Thanks everyone

I can't recall the price but I think I will get it for sure!

hc666 · 12-18-2008, 01:23 AM

I just watched it on blu!

Great movie... I can see why it's in the top 250 of IMDB

Funny to see Doctors smoke and kids left with total strangers for a day lol How things have changed since 1951!!!

PQ was ok at best overall... lots of soft scenes but the AQ was great!!!

Thumbs up!

Great info in this thread. I purchased the movie and should be getting it very soon. Really looking foward to seeing it, by myself I am sure. My wife would not enjoy a 50's B&W Sci Fi movie, but I will.

One of the best science fiction movies ever made its message is timeless my signature is one of the best lines ever put on film along with the speach Klaatu makes at the end I am so glad to have this on BD

warriorking · 12-18-2008, 05:50 PM

Fantastic Movie, classic for the ages, as for the remake...

What a piece of crap!!!!!

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

Another Global warming, Mother Earth, Man is bad message movie...AND THE ENDING !!!! PLEEEAAASEEEE.....What a farse....

I actually had to take a shower to remove the stink of this remake.....

bigshoulders · 12-18-2008, 06:06 PM

Hehe. The part about having to take a shower to remove the stink had me rollin'! I doubt I'll waste the money on the re-make, but the original I might just spring for on BD.

The original is a classic. I knew the remake would be bad but I went and saw it anyway. The story is ok and the special effects were ok. This means the remake is forgettable

VHS4Ever · 12-18-2008, 06:50 PM

Is the new one any good?

She might actually .. the sci-fi stuff is pretty minimal really .. it's a much more personal movie with a great performance by Michael Rennie.

I didn't think so. Thought it was pretty craptastic.

As for the original. I watched this for the first time about a week ago and I have to say this is one my favorite movies of all time. I will definitely be picking this up on blu.

DrinkMore · 12-20-2008, 04:34 AM

Just got done watching the original. I thought it was going to be terrible. However, it was the opposite. A very great movie. Not at all cheesy like I expected. Well done for the time.

Watched this superb film again the other day and it is still superb, but I feel could do with a new transfer?
