Overall, quite disappointing. Wooden acting and a shallow, often dopey script take the shine off the excitement I felt at this remake of one of my favourite childhood TV series.

The actors seem to be visibly struggling to find chemistry and momentum as well; perhaps the patchy writing and direction is at much at fault too.

Of course the special effects were superb as expected, and perhaps it's saving grace was The Robot, who's re-imagining was quite exceptional. It's non entirely unenjoyable, but when you find yourself fast-forwarding boring, repetitive daytime TV soap-opera like scenes, cringing at wooden dialog, and sighing at the increasingly predicable plotlines unfolding, it pales in comparison to say Altered Carbon.

Sadly this is a missed opportunity for what could have been a much darker, more character driven space-drama.
