spent a good part of my weekend watchin the dvd of this remake. and my goodness, it's been like exactly 27 year's ago that i first got hooked.
gasp! i meant the 27 year's bit.
as the series is not shown on this islet, i can't say if it's terribly brilliant but i was nevertheless impressed. especially bits that paid homage to the original. not to mention, realistic portrayal's of:
1. man rendered helpless when modern technology fails
2. planets that resemble the blue marble - down to the last blade of grass
3. bird's with massive ego's
4. man playing god and then he got his comeuppance
and oh, the dogfight's and the spacescape were almost akin to another favourite.
to think that i exclaimed "sacre bleu!" when i first heard about it. and that some character's transformed into bird's. but i'm not complainin now.
anyhoo, like back then, i had to drool over this fella. his being english - well, technically - is but a coincidence :D
