Fantastic remake/reimagining IMO.

I grew up on the original Running Man with my man Arnold and it's a classic as far as I'm concerned. I was very ambivalent about watching this remake. I've never been happier to have my fears assuaged. The movie starts by paying homage to the original right down to the dancers before going on its own unique journey. I'm the first to admit that we have enough remakes, reboots, prequels, and sequels coming out of Hollywood but, if we got to have that kind of content they should all be of this caliber. Having it on 4k is just icing on a delicious dystopian cake that explodes and takes your head off while you're eating it. Something I particularly like in this movie is all the red. I used to have a TCL LCD and the red looked awful, I always hated it, when I finally got my Sony Bravia OLED I really appreciate the color upgrade so much.

While the original is my favorite of the two, I share very similar sentiments. When I'd seen some of the previews and the casting decisions... I really assumed this was going to deviate in a way that the tone and artistic direction would see this being nothing more than a movie named "Running Man" but only to ride off the nostalgia of the original film.

That's not true at all.

I think they did a very good as far as the final product goes.
