if you have read all the other review you will notice that the first one the negative one come from people who saw the 1994 series first then experience the 2000 pax remake with shock and horror . the new review the positive review come from people who saw the 2000 pax version on dvd which be release prior to the dvd release of the 1994 series . people tend to like the version they saw first but if you haven not see any certainly the series be so much well in every way act and tone and pace and story line and cinematography and casting and directing and orchestration . and be remind that when the original series be cancel and a massive fan response get the show reboot and this be their fan base . basically the producer tell them thanks and now leave . one can review the remake from the perspective of see it first or see it second . if you have already see it and i can not do anything about that and but if you haven not see the series first ( and best yet skip the remake ) . if you have see the series ( and they be magical ) here what to expect in the remake . the first of the three pax movie play like a parody without joke . bit of piece of the year long series be randomly toss into the first hour so all that exists be the famous scene poorly execute without any build up or understanding of why they be there except for viewer to go oh yeah and i remember that scene and it be in that story about . they be present here a punch line without the build up . one could say it be like watch flashback of the previous season and but if it be mean to be a continuation why choose actor that do not resemble the original one iota . apparently the casting agent do not see the original series either . cast a lead character a foot taller than the original . come on . really . imagine if one of the rocky sequel have recast the talia shire role with cher and you will get the idea . yet and the actor try to do impression of the original actor mannerism and speech inflection and the costume be exactly the same . and story line and character be change and some character eliminate and an entire new character add with some nonsense about a female aviator who crash land in cutter grove . just what we need when condense a year worth of episode into 90 minute be to add a new character and subplot . what a mess . and all because fan want to know who christy be go to marry . sometimes thing be best left unanswered for the next two film get even bad . be there anything i like . it have a neat introduction where we see an elder christy ( shelia moore ) return to cutter gap and tell the story which be narrate throughout the three film . this device would have work great to recap the story line for the first film if they have follow the original story line .
