A good reason to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still

My wife and I watched the latest sci-fi movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still, with leading cast Keanu Reeves, and I was pleasantly surprised by the usage of Microsoft Surface within the storyline. Within the movie, Surface was being used in a multi-user scenario, whereby a group of cast were gathering around Surface to discuss about the facts and information about the alien. The application also featured the ability of Surface to recognise the actual physical object placed on the Surface top and display vital information about the object. At the same time, gestures like flickering, 'throwing' and rotating was also being put to use.

Well, the storyline was at best mediocre, and at least I was surprised to see Surface in action :)
