That's no big deal, because Klaatu looks on everything dispassionately. Maybe he has no passions. He becomes the first co-star in movie history to elude falling in love with Jennifer Connelly. Keanu Reeves is often low-key in his roles, but in this movie, his piano has no keys at all. He is so solemn, detached and uninvolved he makes Mr. Spock look like Hunter S. Thompson at closing time. When he arrives at a momentous decision, he announces it as if he has been rehearsing to say: "Yes, one plus one equals two. Always has, always will."

Ouch!
I love Roger Ebert sometimes. Complete review
here.
I can not only not believe they remade this, but I did not know it was even in production. Hopefully it slides out of the theaters as quietly and people rent the original. Yes, Michael Rennie is also a tad wooden, but I had Gort nightmares for years.......and it had the awesome Bernard Hermann score.
