one of the greats of "hard" sci-fi filmmaking along with Blade Runner ... and ... I'm actually struggling to think of anything else on that level, although I'm sure there are some.

Frankly, it's better than the original, because it distills what was good about that one into a much more palatable ~2h film, as opposed to the sprawling conceptual piece the original was (still a good film).

People are crazy crazy if they're seriously hating on this one.
