IIRC Ronald Moore (who created the new series) never intended to remake the original. He went back to the original ideas, and wrote a new story based on those ideas.

If viewed as a remake , then I think the new Galactica changes too much. If viewed as a new story based on the original ideas, then I think it is excellent. I think it conveys the sheer horror of there situation quite effectively. After all, watching your home and a lot of your loved ones be destroyed then being chased across the galaxy by the race that did it probably would be terrifying..
