Ashley C Great cast but lacking in substance. Writing was terrible. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Lucas t It would get 4 stars if the effects weren't bad. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review David W The original is an all time classic of sci-fi cinema. This remake, taken in isolation, is far from terrible but it lacks the impact of the original despite it doing may things in an original way. This is mainly, in no small part, certainly in my case, to being so familiar with the concept of the original that it lacks that sense of surprise and wonder. It's uneven in terms of its acting though. I know what Keanu was aiming for in his performance but its a miscalculation that comes off as too lifeless, detached and flat to be interesting and Jayden Smith is so cringingly annoying that he almost single handedly ruins the entire movie. On the other hand Connelly anchors things well, Cleese delivers a good turn and the supporting cast are good. The special effects are effective although the decision to change Gort was a design misfire in my opinion. The story tweaks certainly contemporise matters with a global warming message - for better or worse. A frustratingly near miss in too many areas but certainly still worth a watch despite its flaws. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Regina P I just think the theme for this is overplayed: destroy the humans before they destroy the planet. We've seen enough of this same message. If there is some entity out there that is threatening to destroy mankind, then Hollywood just needs to spit it out. Humans will not get the message through a bunch of picture shows. It's just entertainment. And only the rich have the ability to destroy the planet, anyhow. Send the elites a direct message.
