Is it better than the original? Yes. Great SFX, really good music that builds on the original John Williams theme. Acting has its ups and downs.

My main criticism is that the story is constantly too frenetic. Some episodes go from sappy love stories and boring nothingness to the latest crisis in a blink of an eye. The crisis is almost impossibly resolved - just in the nick of time. Way too much impossible.

If this is 30 years in the future, I'll eat my hat.
