I watched this reboot, with no great care about comparing it to the old series, as that show was a childish and outdated show especially after season one. Taken on it's own merits, yes there are some flaws for sure,(especially with science and physics) but they do not exactly ruin it as fairly entertaining fun, and good way to enjoy seeing people try to survive on an alien planet. Yes the writing is not great. But neither is it as bad as many are claiming. The music, special effects and scenery are all first rate, even for a feature movie!!

This is tough to review, as there is a lot of Science Fiction that is top rate, and comparing it to the old series is laughable. I am not certain if the intend it to be completely an adult type Sci-Fi/adventure drama or if it is intended for younger viewers also. It was very watchable overall, even with numerous flaws. The acting was average to okay, and not nearly as inept as some of the horrible reviews let on. Overall a show that has a lot of potential, but so far, has not truly reached that far.
