Same story. Bigger budget. Far worse effects. You almost expect that paperclip prompt pop up and say 'it looks like you're trying to create a surfer scene that will embarrass Kurt Russell, Peter Fonda and Steve Buscemi, can I help?'

John Carpenter must be on glue if he thinks this is better than Escape from New York.
