After spending 20 hours in the game, I don't feel like finishing it, even though I know the original rather well and have fond memories. Why? I think I lost motivation. The remakes rendition of characters and the story is atrocious. Everybody acts like they are 10 years old, max. Sabotaging a power plant by planting a bomb feels like a playground game, with sticks playing the role of guns. Except there are real weapons and lives of hundreds of humans at stake. Saying that, the technology behind the game is very polished. Character models, the dynamic lighting and VFX are probably one of the best I have ever seen in a video game up until this point. The combat is flashy, although it gets boring after about 15 hours into the game. Limited skill roster of some of the characters does not help (looking at you, Tifa, and your "hit an enemy a little bit heavier/hit an enemy a little bit faster" attacks). If you are a fan of the series and can watch any anime without cringing, then go for it. If you much more prefer the western type of storytelling, stay away.
