I definitely prefer the 70's version, which now seems surprisingly plausible and realistic. But this is definitely OK for a popcorn flick-and anything that has Josh Lucas either in a tux, sweaty or wet at all times can't be too bad. The FX were however top-notch, though perhaps a sorry substitute for the character development of the original.
But I do have to say THE KID WAS SO DAMN ANNOYING!!! I mean here we are, almost drowning or getting burned every other minute and scared out of our wits and the kid wanders away not once but TWICE?!?!? At the end I wanted to scream, "Save the gas tank, throw the kid into the propeller instead!!!!"
