I was expecting a little better than this gave. When remaking a cult classic from the 50's, you have to either do it well or preferably not at all.Keanu would have been better suited playing a cameo as Neo or at least Gort he was that lifeless! The film was full of special effects, more than the average film I would say, except maybe The Matrix. However they were almost wasted in the wish, wash, all over the place script. Jumping from scene location to scene location, I almost felt like I wanted to go back and see what happens next in the other scene.

Summary then is as follows. If you really are a special effects lover then maybe this will attract you, mainly for explosions and not much else, they were pretty basic. If you are a sci-fi fan, it will more likely attract you, but even then there wasn't much to it. Yes Gort looked cool but it felt like he did less this time round. Maybe that was due to the rest of the films rub off affect. Who knows.
