HUH???

So, who is to judge these aliens in traveling the universe destroying planets that don't conform? So, Klaatu & his race of beings are acually very human-like only much more powerful.

Actually Russ, I think "Get along, or we'll kill all of you." is exactly what mankind needs to hear. A superior force threating to wipe us all out if we don't stop fighting might bring things into perspective.

Anyways,
I went to see this film last night.
Don't spend the money. Wait for it to show up on HBO.

The ending sucked worst of all.
