What a waste of money. Keanu Reeves' acting proved that, if he runs out of roles to play, he'd still be able to do a great Mr. Spock in a future Trek film. Jennifer Connelly was equally bland and looked like a younger version of Demi Moore. And the CGI version of Gort LOOKED like CGI. The only reason I gave it three stars is because I wanted it to be so much better than it was - and got the feeling this film wasn't so much bad acting as it was bad writing, bad direction, and bad FX. And I suspect that when veteran actors like Reeves and Connelly saw the theatrical version of the film, a part of them wanted to "disown" their participation.
This film is scary in one other way. It makes me worry about other upcoming SF remakes - like "Forbidden Planet," "When Worlds Collide," and "This Island Earth." This TDTESS remake really pales in comparison to the original. And I only hope the other SF remakes won't be able to prove the same thing.
