The Day the Earth Stopped (2008)
A train wreck in slow motion

This film was kind of compelling to watch, just see how crap it could be.
Acting? Do me a favour! The kids in a pre-school nativity play can act better than that.
Special effects? Ha! The effects in the 1951 movie from which this was ripped off were much better. Even the screens in the control room were CRTs instead of LCD panels - bear in mind this was made in 2008! Plot? Please! Find out why humanity is worth saving by tea time, otherwise the planet is going to be zapped.
I thought they had finally cracked how to show new born babies. Apparently not, as we're shown a clean six month old toddler that had just been born.
I probably have seen a worse science fiction movie, but I can't remember when.
