Whoa, I'm an alien

Just watched The Day The Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves, and I have to say he stepped up his game a little bit this time. He's still playing the absurdly unique character that he was born for, but at least this time it wasn't nearly as over the top. As for the movie itself, it's another one about human nature and it's tendency to destroy,

Hey now, I LIKED the new Indiana Jones movie. I'd give it a solid 7. It was goofy and campy. That was the point.

Then explain the refrigerator scene.

He was avoiding the nuclear blast. What is there to explain?

[teh0wnz0r]

For starters, it's bearing on the movie itself, other then something to fill an extra 15 minutes. Next, what was a nuclear blast test site doing in any sort of proximity to the secret warehouse holding the items of great importance to the government? If it was within walking distance, it was within fallout distance, thereby putting these amazingly classified government secrets at extreme risk.

Pffft, are you trying to force the movie to make logical sense? There's your first mistake. :P

But really, a lot of times things in movies are just a little too convenient or don't quite make sense in the real world, and a lot of times that's fine because they aren't meant to be perfectly realistic. I argue that this is one of those times when suspension of disbelief has to kick in a bit.

The point of the movie was to be entertaining. Was I entertained? Thoroughly. Goal achieved.

To each their own. I'm glad someone liked the movie. Maybe it's just George that ruined my impression of it.
