I haven't seen the original either and this is a good reminder to do that. Having said that, I have a hard time imagining the original being better because the 2010 remake is probably one of the greatest "zombie/virus" movies ever made. Timothy Olyphant absolutely crushed it.

The original is a much different type of film. Much more political and much less focused on zombie action. The virus in the original makes you crazy. It doesn't turn you into a zombie. The major focus of the film is the government's bungling of the attempt to contain the outbreak. I saw this during the first weeks of covid and it was quite apt.
