Noooo! They've turned it into a sickeningly-sweet Disney movie!

[Gabriel Koerner]

I actually worked on this pilot a little bit. Would you be surprised to learn John Woo directed this?

[Joshua Sinistar]

Why does Hollywood insist on Making Remakes? Doesn't anyone in that debauched town have any Original Ideas?

even the pilot to star trek..

I liked it! Despite all the critic heads!

It is a pilot; A dress rehearsal for something that could have been; A mock up. Just like a concept vehicle seen at an auto show.

[Kim Millard]

Is that Tom Berenger or a lookalike???

I think many parts of the pilot were rather clumsily shot and/or poorly acted, but overall I see great promise for the vision that was displayed.

But when you have a big budget you can re-shoot scenes with corrected perspectives, and actors presenting improved performances. From the extravagance of the sets and CGI though, I suspect in the end they just had to go with the shots they had.

As a fan I would definitely recommend watching it, and lamenting what could have been.
