Despite all the bad reviews, I actually enjoyed it a lot. I haven't seen the original show before though.

Although even if I did, I don't think I'd like it any better. Because this is sci-fi and after getting used to nowadays sci-fi, I don't think I could finish the show that's done without CGI or any good effects.

There are times you will ask yourself questions like why & how. Beyond that it is quite enjoyable.

I'd say go in & enjoy and decide for yourself.
