The Day the Earth Stood Still
by Gary R. Bosworth (Malibu, CA USA)
Quick delivery. Quality product. Classic Sci-Fi movie. Fantastic scenes in Black & White. Great entertainment. Well worth the money. I am a very satisfied customer.

TDTEST: Best of Breed
by Daniel R. Martin (Colorado, USA)
The Day The Earth Stood Still was the first s-f movie I ever saw with my dad. I was awestruck then and it gave me an appetite seldom satisfied since. The modern day version of TDTEST (with Keanu Reeves) falls far short of the original and its unforgettable score by Bernard Herrman.
This 2-disc DVD set is the only one you want. It contains not only the flawlessly restored original b&w movie from the early 50s, but HOURS of related video commentary and press releases. Other remarkable material includes behind-the-scene shots, the saucer blueprints, how GORT was made, promo art, a video of a thereminist playing the eerie prelude to TDTEST, and a reading of the original short story, "Farewell to the Master", by it's late author Harry Bates. You will never find better than this.

Duplicity
by Grey Mason (Randallstown, MD)
If you plan on buying the Keenu Reeves version of this movie in Blu-Ray and get the three disc version, DON'T BUY THIS DISC! IT IS INCLUDED IN THE 3 DISC VERSION OF THE NEW THEATRICAL RELEASE!The Day the Earth Stood Still (3-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray]

the BEST!
by David Berridge (Bisbee, Arizona USA)
When I was a kid I watched this when it was a new movie.........It was great then and has stood the test of time!
If any younger folks out there have only seen the new re-do of this movie, treat yourself and make sure to see the ORIGINAL.
Also, I was very impressed with the picture quality of this movie.
One of the all time greats!
5/5
The best!
by Lew (New Jersey)
The old classic still reighns!...the newer re-make with K. Reeves is a piece of crap.
The Day the Earth Stood Still Summary
The Day The Earth Stood Still Depicts The Arrival Of An Alien Dignitary, Klaatu (michael Rennie), Who Has Come To Earth With His Deadly Robot, Gort (lock Martin), To Deliver The Message That Earthlings Must Stop Warring Among Themselves--or Else. After Being Shot At By Military Guards, Klaatu Is Brought To A Washington, D.c. Hospital, Where He Begs A Sympathetic But Frank Major White (robert Osterloh) To Gather All The World's Leaders So He Can Tell Them More Specifically What He Has Come To Warn Them About. Losing Patience, Klaatu Slips Into The Human World, Adapting A False Identity And Living At A Boarding House Where He Meets A Smart Woman With A Conscience And Her Inquisitive Son. Both Mother And Son Soon Find Themselves Embroiled In The Complex Mystery Of Klaatu, His Message And The Government's Witch Hunt For The Alien.
A hallmark of the science fiction genre as well as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s,
The Day the Earth Stood Still
is a sci-fi movie less concerned with special effects than with a social parable. A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., carrying a humanoid messenger from another world (Michael Rennie) imparting a warning to the people of Earth to cease their violent behavior. But panic ensues as the messenger lands and is shot by a nervous soldier. His large robot companion destroys the Capitol as the messenger escapes the confines of the hospital. He moves in with a family as a boarder and blends into society to observe the full range of the human experience. Director Robert Wise (
West Side Story
) not only provides one of the most recognizable icons of the science fiction world in his depiction of the massive robot loyal to his master, but he avoids the obvious camp elements of the story to create a quiet and observant story highlighting both the good and the bad in human nature.
