I never saw the original movie, nor read the story, so I watched this one without any prejudice. The thing I found the most amazing about this movie is that a mighty supreme being, with a power beyond imagination, is not capable of making contact with any authority on Earth above a mere Secretary of Defense, number six in the United States presidential line of succession. Being that said, there are a number of plot holes understandable in the original pulp written in the forties, but not allowable in a year that is beyond the, for that time, far away future of the year 2000. I liked the movie, anyway, it is watchable, the graphics are great and the message is very clear and present, "don't mess with the Earth, she will fight back, and she will win".
