Sort of interesting in parts, but the premise is incredibly stupid:
The Earth MUST accept peaceful conduct. If not, it’ll be DESTROYED!!!
Huh? I get the point the movie’s trying to make, but that’s absurd.
Also absurd (and inhuman, and fascist, and morality-destroying) is the “system” developed by Klaatu and his kind.
Well-made enough to remain an object of mild interest, but for me the most enjoyable part is the pre-‘Army Of Darkness’ quote anticipation, and a greater understanding of why Ash should have paid a bit more attention. Cough.
