Watch it:
I am a big fan of the original film, and am excited to see this. I have this thing called a love of monsters and if a filmmaker executes something iconic and jaw-dropping onscreen I find it hard to get up in arms about the “lack of human characters” or “too many special effects”. Movies in this genre are greenlit because of their ability to share with us the fantastic, not give us a big boner about conversations.
Judging from this trailer I don’t expect any big boners, but it could be fun.
