Surprisingly I agree with Siskel. The remake added absolutely nothing new or different to the original. They only translated the script and casted new actors. If you feel intrigued or interested by the plot, check out the original French version.
The reason the alien abduction scene was "spiced up" in Fire In The Sky is because the filmmakers were attempting to make the viewer feel the same level of emotional trauma that the real Travis Walton went through. If they had filmed a fact-by-fact account of the abduction, the viewer would've been bored to tears even though the actual abduction still traumatized Walton. Walton at first objected to the way the filmmakers were going to film the scene but they explained what I explained above to him and so he came around and went with it.
