    great story, horrible actor.

    I don't understand how Keanu Reeves gets cast in anything.

    Never saw it and doubt I'd like it much. Love the original too much.

    horrible movie. horrible acting. horrible interpretation of a classic.

    I saw it on my flight a few weeks back. It was okay but didn't really wow me in anyway. I will have to watch it again when I am in a better frame of mind, I don't care for flying.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    never saw the original so i am sure that helped....and yet i still felt this flick was 'meh' at best. these kinda roles are perfect for keanu, but jennifer connolley was wasted in this film. eh well......
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow

    You should see the original. It was one of the original sci-fi classics. If you like the genre, it's a must see.

    The original was great, I was really hoping to like the remake- the special effects were good and Keanu was perfect as an unfeeling alien. I just thought the story got kind of boring and I did not like how they ended it. They could have done a lot more with it.

    yes...it was ho-hum.



    and solat, i really don't like the genre, so i more than likely wouldn't really love the original either, just saw it b/c keanu is a guilty pleasure :oops: , i love jennifer connelley, and it was something new to watch on blu-ray. went into it knowing it would be rather crap, haha. i also don't have much patience with old films - especially films with special effects, even the greats...which i know are great, but the style, the film limitations, the sound, etc.......it all takes away for me. i know that is sacrelidge to many, especially b/c i love films so much....but it is what it is.
    Stay with me...
