    You misspelt "Still" in the thread title. :)

    And, yes, I think this remake will be awesome.

    I'm a BIG fan of the original, and I'm not too pleased with the fact that they turned one of the most cerebral, thought-provoking films ever made (IMO) into yet another "ZOMG ALIENS ARE COMING TO DESTROY TEH EARTH!!!11!" movie.

    Spoiler (highlight if you want to read):
    They completely changed Gort so he's now a rampaging death machine made up of a bunch of mechanical insects that fly around and eat everything. Come on now, seriously? Ugh.

    DO.NOT.WANT.

    This.

    I thought it stood a chance but it's not that great unfortunately. I can see a deluge of posts about how Keanu Reeves is a bad actor but he's pretty decent here. It's just that the premise was screwed up quite a bit.

    utter garbage

    i'll quote my responce from the 'what movies have you seen recently' thread:
    the graphics at the end where hideous. correct me if im wrong but they look a lot like the ones LP used when Mike was walking through the desert in the 'In The End' video.. and whats with the big black 'robot' thing? LP did a superb job in the same video with the two statue's that move, that black thing was a piss take.. i could of donr a better job!

    now thats kinda cool in a music video, but in a blockbuster film? nah, not for me.. that just comes across as lazy!

    It's horribad. I loved the original, and my buddy said this movie wasn't worth watching whether I'd seen the original or not.

    Meh it was just ok.

    Nothing I'd watch again, but I didn't want my hour back.
    Seems like they missed the point though.
