Disappointing remake with unconvincing CGI sets

Rating: 3/10 (18 March 2018)

Dreary, dull remake of the overblown original - with dreadful CGI backdrops which look hyper-real and (in all but a few shots) are too sharply defined. Aside from the hilarious moustache sported by Hercule Poirot and his amusing obsession with symmetry there is nothing new here. I think the 1974 version is just about preferable (which isn't saying much). There's a reference to 'The Murder on the Nile' at the end of this movie - presumably that is intended to be a follow-up movie.
