I honestly think that this film is very underrated. Just depends on which version you see. I have both the standard theatrical version and the special edition that has all the major deleted scenes put back in. Having said that the longer version makes a hell of a lot more sense then the theatrical version and why they chopped out certain scenes baffles me.
The message was IMHO very similar to the message that Klaatu gave humanity in the original Day The Earth Stood Still, that there are powerful forces out there, or in this case o our very own planet that are watching us and have a warning for us to stop our warring ways.... My favourite scene was those mile high waves frozen in mid air.... It was beautiful and yet scary at the same time. It also made more sense with that scene in the film with Bud's conversation with the water aliens.
I still love this film after many years.
Anyone else here like this film or have any thoughts on it?
Good or bad
