You know, I didn't think the Keanu version was all that bad when I saw it. It started out promisingly enough - I was comparing it to the '78 Body Snatchers remake in my head.
Then Gort started killing people, and turned into some murderous nanoswarm or some bullshit, and the ending - the best part about the original - made no fucking sense at all.
So, yeah, CS was right. Avoid the Keanu version at all costs.
