I thought this sho was FANTASTIC, why all the haters?

the_denv -- Take time to read the book - it's a good read. Then you'll understand how this movie pales very much in comparison to the 1968 or 71 (forget which year) version.

"It's better to be hated for who you are than be loved for who you aren't."

Some people indicate that this movie sucks, because it pales (what it does) to the original movie and the book. But even considered on its own this is not a good movie.

And by the way, I think most us could of lived with you calling this flic "decent", "ok" whatever ...but you loved it??!? Sorry, that's just ridiculous.

Either the movie you've seen is actually the original and you commented on this message board for the remake by mistake, or ( if you really are talking about the remake ) it must be the first SF movie you have ever seen, because EVERYTHING is predictable unless you have literally never seen an "outbreak" movie before. How can there be any suspense if everything is signposted so far in advance that the audience is always two steps ahead of the "scientists". And if the science is so ludcicrous that reality basically doesn't matter at all in this movie, how can there be any suspense? They may as well just pull out a magic ray gun 5 minutes into that kills all the andromeda. It's no less credible than what happens in the film.

oh dear, the very fact that you actually know someone connected to the utter bottom-guff that is 'shrooms', unfortunatley negates your argument almost entirely.
This is perhaps not your fault, and may be due to your age, and so possibly spoon fed on this downgraded, souless, directionless fast edited, arse-water of a production. Made, as everything else is, for overprivilaged pasty faced self indulgent, inarticulate Calafornian teenagers, with all the attention span of a fried egg sandwich unable ,even, to use their reposable thumbs properly, let alone communicate effectivly.

Its a little scary to be frank, when say, you look at recent rubbish like Battle: Los Angeles, whose scripting was so bad I actually laughed many times, mainly when I wasn't supossed to - and scenes like the bit, where the survivours where trying to kill it using their bear hands was a tad worrying. In so far as standing back from it, just looked like a group of unthinking animals.

Try getting into some of the better found footage movies.
Their subtexts will give you a seroius clue just which route we are all going down, and it aint good.

With standards like those, just about every moment of TV would be fantastic. Even the commercials. I envy you.

It's not hate, it's disappointment and boredom, and maybe a little anger that I wasted 174 minutes on this slop instead of watching the original again, which would have given me more enjoyment and incidentally would also have been commercial free.

But I've learned that no matter how terrible, stiff, painfully politically correct, incoherently written, and juvenile a movie manages to be, there's always going to be someone who thinks it's the greatest thing since milk in a carton. And in this case, I guess that's you. Carry on.

I was really excited when I learned this show was being given a reboot but this show was really hard to watch, especially for anyone that watched the 1971 original. They took a really good idea and totally destroyed it with a terrible screen play work and stiff acting. Just as the original Rollerball movie should have been left alone, this one too should have gone untouched.
