Amazon.com essential video:
A hallmark of the science fiction genre as well as a wry commentary on the political climate of the 1950s, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a sci-fi movie less concerned with special effects than with a social parable. A spacecraft lands in Washington, D.C., carrying a humanoid messenger from another world (Michael Rennie) imparting a warning to the people of Earth to cease their violent behavior. But panic ensues as the messenger lands and is shot by a nervous soldier. His large robot companion destroys the Capitol as the messenger escapes the confines of the hospital. He moves in with a family as a boarder and blends into society to observe the full range of the human experience. Director Robert Wise (West Side Story) not only provides one of the most recognizable icons of the science fiction world in his depiction of the massive robot loyal to his master, but he avoids the obvious camp elements of the story to create a quiet and observant story highlighting both the good and the bad in human nature. --Robert Lane




Rating: - Great Movie
I am very happy with my purchase. I received the Blu-ray the same day it was released in the stores! The movie was awsome in quality and content. But I was even more satisfied with Amazon's great service. You will never go wrong ordering anything from Amazon.com

Rating: - Movie screen format
Being upgraded to blu ray doest't mean that the movie will be 'restored'to widescreen format with 5.1 sound. This movie WAS shot in a 1.37:1 aspect ratio witch is closer to a TV standar format than the modern 16x9. You must remember guys that a lot of the early cinema was shot in 1.33:1. That's why the analog TV copied that format, because movies were shot that way. Check any movie database site to look after your favorite movie aspect ratio to be sure that this matchs with the info in the disc you're ... Read More

Rating: - Original "Day The Earth Stood Still"
This upgraded DVD is sensational for the purest. Every detail is covered and the film looks better than ever - this is the "Mona Lisa" of early sci-fi and should never have been redone. Always a favorite and definitely a watch again film.

Rating: - A must to see
This movie is very good and very thought provoking. If they would have kept the same theme with the new movie it would have been as good as this one made in 1951.
