[T]he original would have made a very dull movie….
Absolutely true.

*sigh* Perhaps I could have enjoyed it if I didn't know that it was supposed to be connected to a classic SF short by one of my favorite classic SF "authors." As it is, I am unable to evaluate it without reference to the story, and it's nothing like the story, and therefore I am not going to see it because I would hate it, no matter how good a movie it might be on its own terms.

I will say this: I respect them enormously for changing the name. That was the right thing to do. I am sure that that will enable some people to enjoy the movie in a manner unconnected to the story. It's just insufficient for me to do so.
