Part One of a great remake was aired on the Syfy channel on Monday night.

 

Whereas the original film had people blinded watching an intense meteor
shower (rather implausible) this version centres on a much anticipated
solar storm during which the sun suddenly spews out an intense burst of
energy, brighter than a thousand suns no less (again, a bit far-fetched but
slightly more plausible than the original considering all the hype over
solar cycles and the whole "2012" industry).   As for the triffids, rather
than a few examples in Kew Gardens they had been identified as a great
renewable energy source and  farms had sprung up on a industrial scale
generating fuel, Triffoil !!! 

 

Anyway, if you have access to the Syfy channel, part 1 is being shown again
on Sunday 8pm BST with part 2 on Monday night at 9pm.  Part one was
entertaining stuff if nothing else. 

 

Of course, we were saying "hang on, there would be far more people who'd
have not witnessed it" and "even if it was worldwide, wouldn't the impact be
staggered so others would get an advance warning", that sort of thing but
part 1 was still good though quite how Eddie Izzard walked out a crash
landed jumbo jet with just a few scratches (after some quick thinking) was
maybe meant to be a slightly comical moment.
