A group of mainly teenagers in Spokane, Washington rebel against North Korean and Russian invaders. The girls are not sisters hidden away by their grandparents. The main character is not living in town, but rather a Marine on leave. There is no background given on the bad guy; there was some in the original. There was less killing of towns people in this one. The mayor's son is not killed, but left behind and probably killed later. In the end the fighting continues. In the original, the only 2 survivors make it to the border of Free America. Let's look at some other differences, shall we...Jed original (he's ok)
The new Jed - UPGRADE!
Both characters die - bummer.
Matt - the original - not bad
The new one - DOWNGRADE - not only is he not attractive, he can't act. The original dies with his brother - the new one carries on his legacy (barf).
The original Robert - in his youth - not bad.
The new - EQUAL - not an up or down grade on this one. Good choice I think.
One of a three man team of marines sent to ask the Wolverines for help. The new version of the Col. - Powers Booth character. UPGRADE without question. (sigh)
Original - pilot that crashed & helps kids for awhile. I like the more modern idea of how to use this character.
SO, which is better....
All in all, I say: SKIP IT and just watch the old one again. The actors don't really make the movie worth it. Totally bummed, by the way.
