The Day The Earth Stood Still 1951 Michael Rennie 2010-07-07

This movie is a billon times better than the new one they have out, in fact there is no comparison between them. Michael Rennie's movie The Earth Stood Still has compassion for earth while the new one has none he came to destroy the earth.

Finally, after only seeing TDTESS on TV for 40+ years, I pryed open the wallet and ordered this for my new Blu-Ray player. I ordered this along with the Blu-ray of Avatar.

I will say I love both movies, but TDTESS will always be my favorite sci-fi film. This from a person who owns all the modern sci-fi films and TV series. It was such a pleasure to watch this without commercials. The blu-ray presentation is very impressive, very little grain and just awesome audio. It loaded on my blu-ray in less than 30 seconds.

Remembering the first time I watched this movie, my age was about 10 years and it was on the NBC Saturday Night at the Movies. It was usually on every two years or so. Really doubt if I blinked during the entire film the first time I watched it. Didn't want to miss a millisecond of the story. Really do doubt if there will ever be a more pure example of basic sci-fi than this film.

I have always loved the original movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Any time it was showing on TV I would watch it. I wish I had a nickle for every time I uttered the line, "Klatu, Barada, Nicktoe", I would be a millionaire today.

I have wanted a copy of my own for some time. To me it is one of the classic Sic-Fi flicks of all time. The remake did not do the original justice.The Day the Earth Stood Still

The black and white format made it even more dramatic. The quality is outstanding and the sound is wonderful.

I would highly recommend this to any Sci-Fi fans especially to any who have never seen the original.
