@BDisgusting One reason why the original worked so well is because of the low budget...and filming in a real burnt-out section of St. Louis. No CGI. Low tech sci-fi. I saw it as a kid in the theater. And watched it again when it was re-released in 4K at the Paris Theatre in NYC last Fall!
@DiscussingFilm I'm not a fan of Zack Snyder. Having said that, I wish him luck. But I'll always have my VHS copy of this film. Love the original and I'll always keep watching it at least once a year.
