What a poor attempt at updating another classic 50's sci-fi thriller. First off, who casts Keanu Reeves in the heavy role of Klaatu, an entity who is charged with determining the fate of the entire human race? Awful. Even when he was human in the 1920's sequence he looked out of place with his fake Abraham Lincoln in a grade school play beard. The special effects were modern, but not good. The spheres were sorta cheesy but I did like GORT a little. Kathy Bates turned in her usual solid performance, her behavior model was exactly what you would expect from the Secretary of Defense. I'm not sure what Helen was able to prove to Klaatu by loving her step-son, but I for one thank her for saving the planet.
