The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)


Have you seen Independence Day? If yes, then have you seen The Day After Tomorrow? Do you want to see these movies again? If so, Keanu Reeves can help you with that. This is basically an upgraded version of those epic disaster movies. Keanu plays the voice of the alien invaders and sucks at his role (as usual).

The aliens he represents have come to earth in order to kill off the humans and protect the environment. Really, they're actually there to stop global warming. Without any potent defense, the human race begs for their lives. They plead for the right to exist, promising environmental changes in exchange for mercy. Religions are mobilized. As the military fails, society falls into chaos.

In the end, humanity's greatest weapon turns out to be philosophy. The alien invaders are thwarted by a simple rhetorical argument explaining the existence of civilization. Poof, the violence ends.

Bull shit. Gay ending.
