saw this movie on friday....it rocked my face off.
however, I don't know that it would be as good a movie to people unfamiliar with the TV series. There were a lot of important details that came out in the TV show that I felt that the movie assumed the viewer was already familiar with. Still, I think even the new viewer will be able to pick up on enough of the dynamic of the crew to make this a very enjoyable movie.
I heard in some other reviews that the SFX were not very good, mainly due to the fact that they didnt spend craploads of money on them. I find that position to be absolutely false. I felt like the SFX were pretty seamless, and much better than in the show. the only thing that grated me just a little bit was that for greater 'audience appeal' I guess, they decided to break with the TV shows tradition of keeping everything that happens in outer space silent....as it would be in reality. but the sounds of a couple explosions and stuff wasn't too bad.
I give it a B+
