Look, contrary to some other reviews, this movie didn't need a bigger budget. I can't count the number of movies that were ruined by big budgets, and we don't need any more of that. This film's VFX and action sequences were on point and extremely good. The film itself focuses on story and doesn't waste money on crap that would detract from the focus on the story. It packs a few surprises as well... at one point I found myself laughing for all the right reasons. Inventive and fresh.

...if you're really, really dull. Seriously, children enjoy flashy lights and whiz-bang sounds in outer space and really don't care if the little toy rockets driven by their little toy spacemen don't carry reaction mass. Adults prefer something that could actually happen; where the plot is actually driven by the characters; where those characters can be interesting without being caricatures or clowns.

This is a show for adults. Thus far I've seen the first five episodes, and it's the ONLY genuinely hard sci-fi space-based television show I recall ever having seen. EVER. Here you will find NO magic gravity and NO sound in space. There are NO particles-of-the-week, NO omnipotent aliens. If you don't exercise you'll experience bone loss. This is a solid 5.5 on the Moh's Scale of Scientific Hardness.

It's a total breath of recycled, carbon-scrubbed, artificially oxygenated fresh air.
