You're essentially equating bigger screens, HD and other technical aspects with movies being better. These are all superfluous. It makes me think your some kind of Marvel fan that cares CGI and spectacle more than actual script and acting. Tell me that Jurassic world is better than JP? New alien better than original? There's virtually no remakes I can think of that approach the originals in quality, and it all comes down to script, pacing and acting.

Couldn't agree more about movies, I watch far less nowadays. However TV shows have gotten much better, my current favorite is The Expanse and I also just started watching West world. CGI is helping a lot with immersion there. New Battlestar Galactica was also a lot better than the original.

Movies are just ugh. I still have to watch the Blade runner remake, it's probably very pretty yet I just don't feel like watching it. The original is so good in pacing and atmosphere. Movies nowadays are less immersive to me as they are so over the top with impossible stunts and cgi it's just so unbelievable. Can't wait to see the next Tarantino movie though.


Blade Runner isn't a remake, but for me it also didn't best the original.  The acting is a little better though.
