Actually Good Remakes/Reboots

[Randoman01]

Battlestar Galactica(2004) is a good reboot. It is certainly better than the 1970s version BSG.

I actuallly didn't realize they were so reviled until Into Darkness came out and Trekkies exploded in nerd rage like they do with every new Trek movie.

Every new Trek anything.

This came up a while back on here, where people were saying things about Abrams leaving and how we could finally get back to the Trek we all loved. And my question was: what Trek was that? It wasn't the last TV series, or the last movie. It probably wasn't any of the TNG movies, or Generations, in fact. Voyager divided the fanbase (To put it nicely), as did Star Trek: Babylon 5. Fans were bitching as far back as the aborted Phase 2. I can imagine it'd be worse if it was a time with ubiquitous internet. Hell, the death of Spock prompted newspaper ads to be taken out in protest--oldschool Trekkies were hardcore.

Same way I see it. I love all the generations of Trek, even the Abramsverse which apparently makes me not a Star Trek fan.

OT: I don't see a point in hating on reboots, it doesn't invalidate the feelings you have to the things you like about the original. Maybe it just makes some folks feel superior to look down their noses at a younger generations attempt to tell stories their parents generation told to them.

Despite their flaws, I enjoyed Star Trek 2009 and Into Darkness. If it makes me not a true Trekkie I say PO, I was raised on it some of my earliest memories was watching TOS on my dad's Betamax player.

I liked the Dawn of the Dead remake, I haven't seen the original though so I can't really compare.
