The Day the Earth Stood Still is a 2008 Science Fiction Drama about a humanoid alien who passes final judgment upon the world and only Jennifer Connelly and her adopted son stand to change the path of this destruction. Keanu Reeves stars as Klatuu, and Gort is the cybernetic organism who threatens the planet. With Kathy Bates, John Cleese and Jaden Smith. Based upon the familiar original, with better quality apocalyptic graphics.

Continuity mistake: When the scientists are walking through the fog towards the sphere shortly after it has landed in Central Park, we see them walk through many lines of trees before reaching the sphere. Camera cuts to a different angle, when the fog has all cleared and we briefly see behind the scientists and it only shows one line of small trees quite a bit away, not the lines of trees they were walking through before.

Question: Is Mr. Wu's grandson an alien like him? When Helen asks him if he's one of them, his response seems to suggest that he's dodging the question.
