This movie first came out in 1929 as a silent movie. Then remade over and over again in 1939, 1978, and 2002.

The 2002 version seems to be an example of keep doing something until it sucks. The 1939 and 1978 versions are much better. Don't waste you time with this one, watch an earlier version.

They changed the plot just enough to make it less interesting. The characters were also less interesting. Harry's conflicted feelings were an attempt to provide psychological insight into his complex mind, but, as a viewer, I just didn't care.

His army buddy making stupid decisions was a change that did nothing to enhance the plot for me.

I am not a Trekie, but I have seen every Star Trek even made (except the animated series).

I was looking forward to the new series, but I had no idea that it was not going to be shown on network TV after the first episode. I only found out that it would be subscription only after I had watched the premier. There is nothing else I would watch on the pay service, so there is no consideration of signing up. Even if I would consider it, the quality of the show was disappointing.

If your show is named "Star Trek..." you have a reputation to live up to, they did not. Neither the acting or the plot lived up to my expectations. I'm sure Trekies will sign up for their service because of this show, but I doubt many others will. This seems like a really bad marketing idea to me.
