Good movie. I didn't think it was possible to remake a classic and have it turn out better than the classic. Well they did it and they did it very well. Now we have two classic versions of Red Dawn.
Pros great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great action movie; not the best movie I've ever seen but it's worth watching. Excellent special effects and well thought out plot. Interesting bunch of actors and actresses though.
Pros great actors, special effects
Cons unrealistic
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great job on the story and script. I don’t always like remakes (e.g. “Longest Yard”, “Day the Earth Stood Still”), but I very much enjoyed this one. I do like it when a remake of a movie recreates a few dialogue matches from the original screenplay, even if they aren’t exact or varied intentionally to provide for unpredictability at the same time. It makes me smile and also allows for a certain degree of continuity and flow. Some of the acting was a little short of spectacular, but satisfying entertaining. Good action sequences and effective use of non-cgi special effects to just the right degree without it being overdone. Any use of cgi, in my opinion, was used clandestinely enough that I really didn’t even notice it. I just wish the camera work wasn't so unnecessarily, if not intentionally "shaky and "herky-jerky". But, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire movie. If you enjoyed the original, I think you will enjoy this one too.
Pros well paced, great story
Cons acting just ok
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I thought the movie was pretty good, however, not as good as the original. They should have kept with the original script using the Chinese it would have been better, North Korea was a silly replacement ... lol
Pros well paced
Yes, I recommend this movie.
