The Day that Movies All Sucked

Admittedly, I haven't seen the new remake of the movie The Day the Earth Stood still. What I know I read in a review here. But I have noticed that movies increasingly are environmentally friendly and liberal, and also have increasingly sucked, and there is probably a correlation there. Seriously, the plot of this movie is that humans are a disease on "Mother Earth", aliens are friends with Mother Earth, and they come down here to wipe us out. But a couple of nice people convince the aliens that we are already doing a good job of that ourselves (one of the heroes is John Cleese's character who won a Nobel Prize for research into "biological altruism", and another is Jennifer Connelly who is an astro-biologist), and so they realize that humans are committing suicide as a race by adopting the Green Religion, and so decide to leave, after smashing the most obnoxious elements of capitalism. This is the stuff that passes for movies now days?
