Encircled by large yet feeble military forces, the peaceful intergalactic ambassador, Klaatu, emerges from the mysterious vessel accompanied by the silently dangerous robot of incomprehensible power, Gort, only to witness firsthand the earthlings' hospitality. The sophisticated humanoid declares that he comes in peace; however, he needs to assemble the world's greatest minds to hear his merciful warning and a definitive ultimatum. Is Klaatu the messenger of humanity's doom?

I can't believe they're remaking this movie, and with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. It would be cool if they left in the old-fashioned setting, but if they update it to modern times ... I just don't know.
When a movie magically works, there's no guarantee that it will work as a remake.
