while lift various plot element from the original ( nasty virus and wildfire containment facility and odd man out auto destruct canceler and etc ) we get a whole pile of additional element throw in and and for no apparent good reason . ben bratt character have a substance abuse wife and an estranged son . this go no where . the wildfire team be now compose of a more politically correct team include a black and an asian and and a homosexual . wormhole . virus send from the future so we can save ourselves . somebody be watch too many star trek rerun . the let crawl up the central wildfire tube core sequence in the original be terrific and tension fill . in this remake it be labor and bore . it might have gain another score point if the wrong thumb have be cut off . and then there jack nash run around look for grace ( oops and wrong series ) . and then we have all the secret bad government dare do and a predictable addition in these time . a someone else once say they should only remake bad movie . you have be warn .
