I understand what you mean by CGI, but this is not what I mean by "remake". As I can remember, there were three Jurassic Parks, that ranged from 1993-2001, I believe. But those sequels were done from and based on the original as a continuation.

I see a remake as a new movie using the same story but with a different cast. I see a sequel as a movie in which the story of the first/original movie continues, with or without the original cast.

Isn't that the movie with Jamie Foxx in it? I didn't know there was an original one before that one. I thought that was it. But, yes, this is what I'm referring to.

This. I think if it was redone by the same director (Steven Spielberg), I think it would be really good.
