seriously folk and what do you expect . they couldn not make it just like the original novel or movie and because the original be not that obscure and and there isn not any good way to change the story and still make a reasonable production . all the major change come in the second part and the first part be play almost exactly like the original . this seem almost deliberate . in the second part and we get some cursory mention of the two survivor and some theorizing a to why they may still be alive . but then theyre simply forgotten and do not even figure in the overall plot . presumably this be to avoid the obvious end where the military spray everything with large vat worth of stomach acid . have say that and i do feel that some of the reviewer here be watch a different mini series . there weren not a many plot hole a some want you to believe while it actually hold up to plot scrutiny pretty well . the acting be about right for this kind of production and the effect be do well . it be just that cheesy rewrite of the original story that i can not get beyond . time travel paradox and wormhole and thing send back from the future . a someone already note and way too many star trek plot lift for my liking . but the one thing that the original have in spade and and this have none of . a spine chilling sinister and spookiness and that just doesn not sit well and make your skin crawl . the original and despite it almost complete lack of violence and gore and be every bit horror movie a it be sci fi . this be just another one of those cheesy update that will repeat endlessly on the scifi channel . the bad part for me be that the nail bite ladder sequence from the original be waste and replace with 10 minute of mind numbing stupidity . he die because it a radioactive pool and geddit . the other fella and it be the gravity that get him . we do not mention the gravity . darnit . you do not know what i be refer to . lucky you . if you want some advice and rent the original and watch it with the light turn down and preferably late at night when it all quiet outside .
