The good part about this series is it shows how a concept can in fact turn into reality through the advances of CGI. The acting is surprisingly bad throughout; even from the veterans. A lot of this is due to the extremely poor editing (which is odd considering the high investment in CGI). And while the story/plot is relatively simple (and in fact pretty commonplace): the govt is in trouble, so they resort to non-governmental outsiders to fulfill a mission "off the grid", the writing is actually pretty good, being pretty faithful and paying specific detail to the story-arks from previous iterations of the series. So, A for effort, but D for overall product, unfortunately.
