The original is better. It had a better story, a few good surprises, amazing violence (the shootout on the escalator - wow), and it was the first time, I think, you saw hot chicks fighting. Plus it full of director Paul Verhoven touches, a spine-tingling "you're actually still dreaming" scene, and a very smart, very well-placed "secret" when the technician holds up a file and, in the background utters "hmmm... blue sky on mars". A bit that is missed by many people.

The remake looks great, and has even hotter chicks fighting, but not much else. The big surprise is non existent. There's no Mars. The story is weaker, etc...
