Urgh. Lacks any of the sense of awe from the original. There’s no world building. There’s none of the quiet competence that the scientists (and children!) had in the original. There’s an entire armoury of completely obvious, undisguised Chekhov’s guns. Even the score is forgettable compared to the original. What a mess.
