I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but I've never seen the original, and I'm a HUGE sci-fi fan. I probably won't see the remake in the theater, since I rarely go to the movies, and only generally go when there is a movie my son wants to see. But I'll definitely be looking for this one to come out on DVD and watch it then. Maybe I'll actually see the original by then
As far as the critics disliking it, I gave up listening to them years ago; mainly because everything they hated, I loved and vice versa :lol:
