There have been many poor attempts to make this movie since the original 1959 version, which is still one of the best. But this one is really bad, with poor screenwriting, clumsy special effects, ham-handed interactions, etc. I'm embarrassed for the actors, who did their best to pull off a losing effort.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see anything new or original here, at least nothing that I haven't already read in the news. It seemed as though it was mainly people talking about how excited they are to go into space, but little or no real action. Perhaps this will change once they launch again, but for now it didn't grab my attention.

I don't understand why critics would give it a high rating. I need to be honest and admit that I only watched 5 episodes. I came away feeling as if they never really got to the point, and they just included many little personal dramas designed to string out the series. I also feel that many parts, including the Police responses, lacked credibility. I eventually gave up watching because it seemed to go on forever without coming to a conclusion.
