Reboot is just a fancy new word for remake anyway. So I am with Anchorhead, I didn't think it needed explained. Only "reboot" kind of makes the assumption that the film is going to spawn a zillion sequels and once again be milked for all it is worth. Kind of like saying, "Yeah we know we beat this dead horse for a very long time, and its smelling rotting carcass offended you so you left. Well, now we have a new horse with the same name, and we are proud to invite you to come and watch as we once again subject it to great abuses, watch as it collapses dead, then proceed to continue beating it until you once again leave offended at its putrid stink."

Of course, nobody is that honest, hence the invention of the term, "reboot".
