Filmed in 1951, I saw it in black and white. Rennie (The Lost World) is an alien that has landed on Earth and is demanding to speak to it's leaders to give them a warning. They either stop making weapons or they will be attacked by his people. A single mother and her son help the alien get in touch with a scientist in hopes of convincing the world leaders that he is not the problem building the weapons is the problem. He has with him a robot creature that is seen in the poster. All in all, I say: SEE IT - it's kind of cheesy, but remember when it was filmed.
An updated version starring Reeves (Matrix) as the alien. Connelly (Blood Diamond) plays the single mother. Smith (Karate Kid), Cleese (Monty Python), and Hamm (Mad Men) also star. It's more complicated and it goes a bit further than the original. All in all, I say: SEE IT after you watch the first, if you liked the first one. If you didn't like it, then SKIP IT
