I was very impressed with the acting and the story. The only slight niggle (Spoiler Alert!) was when Gort broke the alien out of jail and carried him very slowly across town to the spaceship without being noticed. Also when the lady said them three words to Gort I was expecting the Evil Dead to Rise! Its still a Brilliant film with English sub titles too!

A real classic excellent picture quality that's what Bluray is for a must have for anyone who enjoys great movies.

Beautiful steelbook of a great film and great service from zavvi.

one of the best films ever everything is perfect in this film; from it's transfer to the extras

If you love sci-fi don't miss this steelbook,Plus tons of extras and unbeatable price

As a huge sci-fi geek, i love all the classics and the day the earth stood still tops the lot (along with War of the worlds). The effects for the time were ground breaking and the film has a real story and depths that a lot of movies lack these days.The steelbook is the cherry on the cake and looks pretty good too. The price point is great at under a fiver and is a great buy.

Excellent blu ray steelbook , as an avid collector of blu ray steelbooks i waited a while for the release of this original movie .I must say zaavi have done it proud with the cover artwork .

This has to be one of my favourite Sci Fi movies and one of the best Sci Fi movies ever made. As relevant today as it was back when it was first made this is the story of man's paranoia, whether its those red commies or like today's new knocking boys, it's a profound look at the stupidity of war and the petty squabbling of world politics. A must have movie of any fan of great cinema.
