I liked the original film and thought I would not like this version. It is not quite a remake. Instead the story is updated and expanded ... this is often a bad thing but it works well for this version. Streep is brilliant, as is Denzel Washington. The camera work is great and the story is tight (as tight as it can be for a man wrestling with the question of what is real). I liked trying to figure out the diferent layers and point-of-view shots. I did not have that experience in the first version. So, yeah, this version is different from the original but in a very good way. Both versions have their merits.
