Say wha? Now why would I watch this movie? Because I adore Keanu Reeves. And I'm sort of a sucker for 'end of the world' type flicks. No matter how cheesy they may be. One thing though...I have NOT seen the original from 1951 so I don't know how true fans of this movie would enjoy it.
It was a good movie, I wouldn't so great or excellent but entertaining for sure. I believe the last movie I saw with Jennifer Connelly was Blood Diamond (Excellent movie), it was nice seeing her again. She's such a beautiful talented actress. I think Keanu Reeves was good for this role due to his robotic acting (like in The Matrix). He was emotionless throughout the entire movie. Not a single smile, no wrinkles from anger or frustration. His face did not move. At all. This movie sends a pretty good message, I'm not sure if it was the same as the original but I feel there could have been more to it. It seemed to have started and ended rather quickly, kind of leaving a...'That's it?' feeling. If you have absolutely nothing to do and have some extra time seeing the movie, then you can watch this. It's still pretty to see.
I do however, look forward to seeing Keanu Reeves in a role that will stray from being emotionless or robotic. He's a great guy, and he does great things.
