After the Away Day, hubby dearest fetched me from Shell Hse (took the company chartered bus back to office cos' he didn't know Putrajaya tht well) & we decided to catch a movie at Cineleisure Damansara (thanks to OCBC Titanium card tht offers Buy-1, Free-1 movie tickets, we became "regulars" there).
Not having much choices (me hating horrors & hubby hating cartoons), we finally settled for "The Day the Earth Stood Still" staring Keanu Reeves.
In summary, it abt this Aliens that are from a more advanced civilization than ours. They sent some "spy" in the form of a Chinese guy some 60-70 years ago to assess the human species & found tht we're really a "spoilt-rotten" race cos' we take-take-take & leave Mother Nature raped & ravaged. Not caring for the survival of other species / planet earth itself. In essence, it's saying - "If the humans live on, Earth will be ruined & it'll be the end for the diverse life-forms on this planet; but if the humans are elliminated, the planet will survive & so will the unique ecosystem it supports". So the civilized aliens decides to "elliminate" the human race & all it's creations - buildings, vehicle, cities etc.
As usual, when it comes to catastrophy movies, the US Government & their Ministers are potrayed to be brainless, trigger-happy, stubborn bunch of ppl who insists on attacking the UFO despite acknowledging tht they are more advanced being that can easily render the most advanced weaponry useless; which further validates the conviction that the human race is really 1 lousy bunch of ppl not worth keeping.
And as usual, a scientist managed to convince the Alien rep (Keanu Reeves) that we're not tht bad afterall & tht we will learn our lesson. So, he/it managed to stop any further destruction from happening. At the point when he did tht, the Earth / time practically stopped - thus the name of the movie.
Ok lar if we don't over-analyse the movie... Only comment - how will we learn our lesson, when the Aliens stopped the "ellimination" & left without leaving a message / mandating that the human race should turn over a new leaf or else....... Trust the potrayed to be dumbass government officials to do tht? I don't think so.....
So, we can expect a secual cos' we never learn.... hahahahaha......
