DO NOT PAY ATTENTION to the low score reviews or those with sarcastic titles. Hensleigh here has a long track record, and quite frankly knows more about this stuff than some rando posting here. It's fine. It's good enough for Liam Neeson to do, so it's good enough for you to watch.
That's it.
Neeson reprises his character from Ice Road, and for the flimsiest of reasons ends up in a whole new adventure of high stakes and skullduggery. Have fun, and don't be so negative about stuff. It's just a movie, folks, and it's fine.

I liked that it was set in the 70s, and particularly enjoyed some narrative and cinematic choices. Like the opening scene in the Antiques Store is mostly sepia tones, then the delivery scene following is in bluetones for night - of course! - then as the truck reverses, the scene is flooded with the red glow of the tail-lights.
It's pacey and rattles along nicely, but it's like there are a couple of linking scenes missing as one minute things are ok then we're in the thick of things... a terrific cast, the dialogue is reasonable and it's not held back by the things which held back the mini-series: network censorship and the acting tropes of the time.
It works, but it's like the main characters keep having meetings offscreen to discuss what's going on.

Wow. Six whole hundred characters to get a review saying that this is the Star Trek we always wanted yet never got and the Galaxy Quest that can never be (hey, no Alan Rickman, no show, am I right?). Look, haters are gonna hate, and fans are gonna fan. This is to help to redress the balance.
The way I describe The Orville as the behind the scenes social media stuff the crew would put out after the camera crews for the documentary on Star Trek: The Next Generation had wrapped and gone home.
Forget it being called a comedy show: it's HUMAN - or rather a celebration of existence regardless of species. WATCH IT. Expect nothing, and be rewarded everything.
