At least, I thought of it as Ted Logan (Keanu Reeves characters are just so bland and hard to distinguish, aren't they?) and then you confirmed it was Ted in the end.
Most excellent, dude!
I was hoping this new movie would be as politically relevant as its predecessor was in the 1950s, but lets face it, it was doomed from the moment they cast Keanu. As for its political message, they would've been better off turning Robot Chicken's famous Ted Turner "Captain Planet" sketch into a 90 minute feature...because their message is essentially the same: "Prooootect the environment...or I'll fuckin' kill you! Captaaaaiiiiiiiinnn Pllllllllanet!"

Other than Bill and Ted, this was probably Keanu's best role. An empty social outcast with absolutely no feeling, emotion, or connection with those around him? Great style for Klaatu!
Not the best, but not the worst movie. Though like most of these videos, the Bum reviews were more entertaining than the moive =P

While I agree with everyone saying that the "Mosquitoes", the "social commentary" and "Rush/Moore" quotes (hey, that last one works so well...I COPYRIGHT THAT YOU HEATHENS!) are great, I think one stands above the rest:
The one at the end that describes the whole thing so succinctly it screams of journalistic award-winning. "Seriously, The Day The Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves. How do YOU think it was?" I do believe that will become the movie's new tagline. :P

Hilarious! I have to agree with DanManX, the line at the end of the movie is perfect. Keanu Reeves. Does more really need to be said? :P
I never realized that there was a 1950's movie The Day the Earth Stood Still (shows how educated I am). But I'm intrigued. Definitely have to look into seeing that. Especially since Multiplex also made reference to it.

"It sounds like a Swedish dessert made out of pig testicles..."
Hey, I resent that!
I'd rather watch Bill&Ted again than watch this movie. I simply don't get it; why is Hollywood remake city now? If this is all they can do I can sympathize with the people who didn't want to give in to the Writer's Guild's demands. If they all suck, why should they get more money?
Is it just me or is 'bad parenting' a recurring theme around here? :)

Not that i'm keen on defending Keanu Reeves, but i think James Rolfe (AVGN) has a point in his review of the movie, saying that Reeve's lack of emotions and monotone voice are well suited for the character he's playing in this movie, for once. Saying the movie sucks because Reeves plays the main role is a bit like saying "Terminator" sucks because Arnold Schwarzenegger, who can't act either, plays the title role. Sometimes even a bad actor can be the right one for a certain role.

There is so much I could say about this movie, but it can be summed up like this: "Keanu Reeves in: SCI-FI JESUS 12!"
To be fair, Keanu is not the only problem this movie has. A lot of it was just ridiculous. What really hurts, though...John Cleese was in it...and he wasn't even funny! WTFFFFFFFFFF?! DX
