And why does Hollywood feel the need to keep remaking all my childhood favorites....they were fine just the way they were. I loved Logan's run when I was younger....leave it alone
Black hole was money!!!!!! Those split double barrel laser guns were the best weapons in psyfi movie history!!!!!!!

All people seem interested in are CGI effects, and now 3D.......I like a story to my Sci Fi.

Ever watch the old Outer Limits series.....worst effects in the world, but the Story lines were amazing....way ahead of its time.

I think of all the movies I grew up with that I loved.....then hollywood remade them ....

War of the Worlds
The Time Machine
The Day the Earth Stood Still (one of the Best Sci-Fi films ever)
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Planet of the Apes
Psycho
Godzilla

Some may have had some redeeming qualities....but just not as good as the originals IMHO.....so why bother....give me something new......You can't recapture the magic of the original, there was just something about them that can't be improved on or re-created.
