Rick Bman’s review published on Letterboxd:
I tried to watch this years and years ago and I'm honestly not even sure if I finished the movie. It just didn't grab me at the time. For a few years now, it has been on my "give it another shot" list because I always hear about how good the series is.
Well, I needed a new show to watch and Katzilla has been tweeting about this one, so that convinced me. I watched the pilot movie today and I will start watching my way through the rest of the series tonight.
Overall, I liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it. But honestly, that isn't much different than the pilot episode of most Star Trek series. Its a little slow because it is setting up a lot of world building, but it sets up a few mysteries and has gotten me interested in the payoff of those.
I really love the alien designs, even a lot of the background creatures look really cool. And I kind of love that there are creatures created with puppets all over the place in the background.
