The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

Posted by Brian A on December 9, 2008 at 15:20:08:
Saw it as a young kid (not at theater though!!!) Bought the Blu Ray to prepare for the remake.

The coolest thing was the sound effects, the woo woo music. They had a brief documentary on the instrument theremin, the only instrument in the world that you don't touch as you use it. I liked the interior shots of the space craft, no knobs and switches, pretty exotic for 1951.

Now all old and cliche, but in '51, new and fresh.

The Blu Ray was marginal. The film was not restored and had plenty of scratches and dots. And it is not wide screen, but the movie wasn't wide screen either.

Anyways a nice blast from the past.

Worry not, Sarah Palin will fix it all in '12
