I find the Robert Wise movie quite good, but not the masterpiece some claim it to be. Coming out of the theater, I found myself pondering about this remake and the 1951 original. I was not shocked (positively or negatively) by all the other aspects of the film.

The end result lacks cohesion and plays more like a sequence of 5 to 10 minutes scenes badly sewn together, the prime objective of each scene being either to introduce an element taken from the original movie or, on the contrary, an idea absent form the1951 original, instead of simply advancing the story.

I've been living amongst them for seventy years now. Wu: I'm afraid they are not a reasonable race. Klaatu: You've been out of contact for a long time.
