I watched the original a dozen times and this one twice
I watched it the second time to see if it was as bad as I remembered it.
Here is the problem with the remake, there was no feeling of desperation.
The first version they had their skin pealing and their lips were all cracked you could feel the suffering
The second version it looked like they stayed in the sun at the beach and got a sun burn, one of the characters first priority was to shave so that he would look good when he was rescued
version one they were struggling to get up and work and they plane and were expending all their energy thing to build the plane
Version two one of the most ridiculous scenes had them dancing and having a party while Doctor House was prancing hitting golf balls there was no sense of urgency
Takeoff
version one there was a lot of suspense when the pilot was using the starter cartridges trying to start the engine
Version two less suspense starting the engine but the takeoff was more exciting with the guys on horses shooting at them.
I could make the list longer but with the exception of a more exciting takeoff in version two there was no reason for a remake.
