Ok, I lied (about not opening the thread again).
The original was a fun bit of schlock crap for the 10-year-old me. The new one has depth, purpose, and a mythology with appeal for the adult me.
But other than the starting premise they really are completely different things (and in light of a different discussion, the existence of this "remake" could, if I were so inclined, devalue the original by showing just how much better it could have been) so I don't bother directly comparing them much.
