Any modern remake would likely just take the name, and a couple plot elements and make something pretty much completely different. Sadly, people would see a straight up remake as a rip off of Star Trek, and they would say it's too slow and boring, and complain it's sexist. So a remake would be a PC filled action/sci fi lite mess, likely with a Gender swapped Capt. Adams. All you'd really need to do, in actuallity however, would be to make Altaira a stronger person(though she actually is... until she admits she like Adams.), and diversify the crew a bit. otherwise I would change much at all, maybe modernize the C27-D and the tech a bit, and flesh out the characters... Maybe show the crew some before the mission to Altair.
