    I watched the original again after having only seen it once like 10 years ago. It was ok. I liked it more than I remembered, but its still flawed imo.

    Pretty amazing they got that done without the tech they have today, but the movie itself aside from the visuals is still kinda boring. There is so little story there, but its still stretched out over a while through what feel like endless shots of nothing happening. They tried to fill the space of these dead shots with no dialogue with these loud ass synths, which I guess helps, but there was way too much of it. It actually felt like they just duplicated many shots and sprinkled the same shots throughout the film lol.

    So Im seeing the new one this sat. I keep hearing amazing things so I hope it doesnt disappoint.

    • get ready ready for a 2:45:00 of synths and engine revving sounds ;)Ramanisky2
    • I agree with "loud ass synths"...sorta like the overused Michael Bay or J.J. Abrams Lens flares.utopian
    • I didn't mind the sound at all.
      loved it.

    • I'm not sure you understood the movie if you claim the story isn't much.monospaced
    • I always compare it to old western films. The silence says a whole lot...ShaneHolley
