It says something sad that Hollywood tried to bring back The Day the Earth Stood Still. All the reviews are in, and of course everyone hates it.
The original was boring preachy crap that first introduced the perfect Jesus type of alien. This is idiotic for something trying to be science fiction. Lets be honest, if aliens with warp drive saw humans, they would think of us as, at best, dolphins or chimps. These two critters are fairly intelligent to us, but their societies are messed up. They kill each others babies, just to begin. Do we try to reform their behavior? Of course not, they are just animals, right? Why would aliens care? Perhaps aliens would look at pollution as a fascinating element of these odd creatures. They might be happy to see us strip-mining and chopping down trees. After all, when we see Orangutangs using spears to skewer fish, or chimps figuring out puzzles, scientists seem to get excited.
Plus, aliens are probably too smart to care about Global Warming (yes, thats what the aliens are invading in the remake, yes, its that stupid).
