It's obviously not even close to as good as the '82 one, but it's definitely worth a watch. Just keep your expectations in check, not superb but not seriously bad. There're a lot of interesting videos and articles about the making of it, and how it would have been much better without some changes that were made later in its development, so you get some cool, and sad, extra stuff after watching it.
if I remember rightly, they had an entire props department doing the creature in the old-school way, with property and special effects, and decided in editing to replace it with CGI. Really sad. Think of how great modern physical effects could be with the advanced we made since the 80s
