I, like @Coasttech, didn't go into this looking for much more than an afternoons throwaway time waster, but, I TOO was also pleasantly surprised. No, the SFX aren't on a Ridley Scott, or, James Cameron level, but, hey, it's friggin NETFLIX", and, they are slowly but surely upping their game. They are willing to take chances on properties that the major studios are no longer willing risk money on.

Back in the day, this would have been the "B" movie double feature at your local drive in, that is, a mid budget movie suitable for loading the kids in the back of the Vista Cruiser, with a bucket of KFC and a cooler of ice cold Shasta, while waiting for it to get dark enough so the show could start at the local drive in. Nuthin' to get dressed up about, but, it beats a kick in the nether's with a steel toed boot anytime.

Besides, it's always fun to watch Dr. Julius Bashir chew a bit a scenery while channeling Robert Oppenheimer, riffing on the Bhagavad-Gita, which was one of the most successful cases of quote borrowing plagiarism recent memory. Lindsey Morgan is believable(ish) in her role as the reluctant ( if somewhat naïve ) savior of mankind. Rhona Mitra, once again seems to have missed "The Last Boat", and then, there is even a cameo by all around "action guy" Frank Grillo. Like I've said before, I see Frank on the credits, I'm IN.

To reiterate, it's NOT high art, but, if you like Sci Fi, and aren't the kind of fan/nerd who bitches that they didn't get the lettering of the hull insignias of on Enterprise WHATEVER, in whichever series you think came directly from your favorite Gene Roddenberry orifice, and it doesn't ruin your suspension of disbelief when you can briefly see the tips of Obi-wan's (actual) prop light saber peeking out from it's SFX glow, then, pop a cold one, heat up a couple hot pockets, and put your feet up for an hour and 45 minutes. You won't even need to double mask!!!!
