Title: Not as good as I'd heard
Product review: I had heard a lot about this movie, and was quite excited when I saw it go on sale, so I picked it up, and wish I hadn't. The special effects are beautiful (hence not giving it a 1 star rating) but the plot is so boring. Acting is great, and really everything about the movie was fine, but I found myself having a difficult time staying focused on the movie, and my family, with whom I was watching with, felt the same way. None of us had seen the original film from the '80s, but we were told it wasn't necessary and that we'd "Catch right on." There must've been something in the original we needed to know, because now we have another blu-ray sitting on the shelf that will never be watched again. At least I purchased it on sale...
