Indeed the new one, in attempting to the faithful to the book, but minus any of the critical inner monologue, just manages to be bland on a big budget.

I love the campy 84 version, even if it departed wildly from the text. The characters were colourful, over the top, memorable. Current version everyone's a slightly different dark haired man in a dusty suit. Give me some dated CGI and theatrics any day.

Same. I still happily rewatch Sci-Fi movies from 80s and 90s. Those were the days. Today CGI has advanced much but it seems directing and world building have taken a back seat.

Ha ha I remember when fans would slit your throat for saying "Sci-Fi" instead of "SF".
