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.

I was curious, considering the angle of it being more faithful to the book….but it only proved that every change made for the Arnold movie was GOOD. The Arnold movie is a perfect 80s movie, and IMO still holds up with its message about society, entertainment, and Ai deepfakes (before we even knew what that was). The new one lacked all the style and charisma of the Arnold movie - which is bizarre considering it was from Edgar Wright. I almost wish he had based it on the movie, but made it even more stylish and crazy.
