Science fiction takes a few steps forward and science fiction films take many steps backwards in this soulless "re-imagining" of the seminal 1951 Robert Wise film. While the first film still remains relevant because of its anti-war message, this remake dilutes that message by going staunchly anti-global warming and such. The biggest misstep however was probably making a film with an ending and a beginning locked, but no middle part to walk us through.
I started off really liking the film because some of the concepts presented are completely against Hollywood thinking, and very fresh....
