Day the Earth Stood Still, The
Keanu Reeves is an alien come to judge the human race, Jennifer Connelly the female scientist lodging an appeal. Remake of the Cold War sci-fi classic from the 1950s
With their superior technology and enlightened cosmic wisdom, some aliens are too liberal to be entertaining.

So begins The Day The Audience Sat Stiff With Boredom.
Some scientists are on hand, snatched from all over the world...
