Just saw the trailer before 'Hancock'. Keanu is as hot as ever. Love the scene with everyone watching him being interrogated. That guy is creepy. I totally had shivers running down my spine. What is he? An Alien?

Yup, Keanu is playing a role of an alien being named Klaatu. This one will be a remake sci-fi masterpiece ^_^

I saw the movie and it is not bad at all. My understanding and this is what I felt: keep the 50th's not to far away from us. Do you really thing that we have really changed that much, since then? Beside the technology? If we are capable of great things we are also capable of the lowest things. We are still short minded as we use to be and will always be like this...because we are human and humanity always repeat itself. We will be erase one day, either from an alien, a meteor or by ourselves, but earth will still be there and survive to us.
