Remaking a fairly average movie, which struggled with the FX due to technology of the day, makes sense to me. Modern FX could have plugged the gaps nicely.
But no. What we get is nasty CG fire, a really, REALLY dull movie and bland, unlikeable and unintersting characters.
I'm amazed this failed but then again there seems to be a rot in the movie industry as a whole.
I switched the film off 10 minutes before the end because I had better things to do. It really was THAT lifeless.
Zac Efron has been pretty awesome in most of his roles but even he couldn't save this movie.
It does make you want to revisit the old one though. That film is very average for the 80s but just way better than this.
