Reboots/reimaginings are their own things: They are retellings that stick to "defining concepts" but take liberties with it.

Facinating.  See, somebody else in this thread said "They can take a movie and remaster it in HD, change scenes around, add CG effects, and all sorts of other stuff and it's still not a remake. It's only a remake if they reshoot the whole thing."

 

Which is weird.  The movies I've seen--let's say Robocop--when they do that, it isn't called a reboot.  It's called a remake.  Who is right?  Who is wrong?  It's crazy!!

Does new robocop follow same plot as OG Robocop  or is it just a concept level?
