Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Thomas Stanton Here goes. This movie was so bad, it wasn't even so bad that it was good like some movies I know... this one was just long, boring and rotten.

ksa-gooding Minus 5 stars - You know the movie is in trouble when the first 15 minutes focus on a n@ked p0rn star wondering through the woods while still managing to wear way too much makeup. We are supposed to believe the she is the alien. Bad bad bad acting!!!! There was no action in this 'action' movie. The military people were stereotypes that were supposed to be scary but were not. Excuse me: you can't just put a lab coat and glasses on anybody and expect us to believe that he is a scientist. If you are going to have a birth scene, you can't use a 6 month old baby. And what's with the war-monger type who continued stroking his beard? Just plain creepy!! I wanted some robot action and got almost none. This movie is not just bad - it is offensively bad. The one star is reserved for the music which is the ONLY thing that appeared to be professionally done.
TheLittleSongbird I did not care at all for The Day the Earth Stopped. However it is not the Asylum's worst, Alien Origin, Titanic II, 2010: Moby Dick, Transmorphers and AVH: Alien Hunter are much worse as well as Paranormal Entity. That still doesn't make it a good movie though. The soundtrack was tolerable, and the effects are a little better than substandard though still not that great. But that is it for the good things. The sets are very uninteresting and limited and the editing very choppy, you can tell that The Day the Earth Stopped was made on a low budget and it really shows. The script ranges from cheesy to almost a non-event, while the story has no momentum or sense of thrills or suspense whatsoever and further undermined by obvious and unforgivable lapses in logic covered in other reviews. The characters are too underdeveloped and stereotypical for the audience to empathise with or care about, and the acting is terrible. Thomas C Howell and the female lead look pained and have the emotions of cardboard, while Judd Nelson is underused. All in all, not the Asylum's worst but still a very poor film with more bad than good. 3/10 Bethany Cox
otforme08 We thought we were getting "The Day the Earth Stood Still" out of the Redbox. My fault....need to read the fine print better. What a disappointment. The trailers to the other movies before it started had us thinking we had rented a porn. We should have known. After 40 excruciating minutes I am in typing this review. C Thomas Howell looks about 60 and I never could figure out where Judd Nelson was. Maybe too embarrassed to be obvious as to his character was. The "aliens" were never shown up close and looked something like a junior high science project or a Sesame Street character....I think he was SnuffleUppeGus. Our Redbox dollar would have been better spent on the homeless man that was panhandling us as we were renting this.
