Bad Remake of 1944 Between 2 worlds?


While watching this I could not help but think this seem to follow the same storyline as http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036641/ the main difference was Between 2 Worlds was a well acted and told a good story without the lame CGI effects. Do modern film makers think that if they throw in a few CGI effects they can dispence with a good story telling and talented actors? You will know who is going to survive after 15 minutes into the movie. Go watch Between 2 Worlds even though it is 60 years old it is a far superior film.

As soon as I started watching this I thought of "Between two Worlds" as well. I loved that film when I was a kid.

I agree john-4316,

It is very much like "Between Two Worlds."

If you are old enough to remember, you can see that many of the "new" films these days borrow heavily from the past. Yes, special effects and flair has improved significantly, but at the same time it seems like many modern films have lost their heart and soul as well.

Great post.
