Special Effects: the effects were cool, however I think they could have had more of a punch.
The Plot: the plot of the movie was somewhat different from that of the original. The main theme was one that seems to be very popular amongst movies right now (humans are destroying the planet) which is seen in other movies like Wall-e and The Happening. I would say that of these 3 movies I would rank this one as 2nd place (wall-e 1st and the happening 3rd)
The Acting: the role of the alien Klatuu was perfect for Keanu Reeves, as he is not the most well rounded actor but does a good job playing stiff alien or robotic roles with minimal emotions. Jennifer Connelly made up for Keanu's lack of emotion. The kid, played by Will Smith's son was VERY annoying and the part could have probably been removed without anyone noticing. He was nothing more then an unnecessary annoyance.
The worst part of the movie was the ending. It seemed rushed.
I would recommend watching this movie on a rainy day when it is free on cable.

Tru dat, nearly as annoying as Ralph M. aka The Karate Kid.
Although perhaps the material they gave him was annoying and the child is actually great actor masterfully portraying a very annoying kid? We'll see.
