The key to the best remakes is to ignore what made the original good. If you try to follow the original, the result is 100% bland and uninspiring. If you do something different it's 90% horrible trash, 10% actually worthwhile movies.
Forbidden Planet.
What made it weird was that is starred a young Leslie Nielsen who sounds exactly like Leslie Nielsen but looks nothing like Leslie Nielsen
It was a great show. My only complaint is that it takes place >200 years after Fallout and the setting is still the same, but that's been my complaint for the 3d games as well.
