I'll probably be hammered for this but I thought the screen play was relatively good one considering it was adapted from an animated series. Sure hard core fans (like myself) will find lots to pick and fuss about but overall it was a nice addition to the mythology, filling in certain gaps, and faithfulness to the original ethos, tech and internecine machinations of Trevor and AEon and of the original series.
The CG effects were well done and it was a real hoot to see Aeon and her four handed friend navigate through defenses. It was just like a scene out of the original.
The acting as not exactly above par and a lot could have been done to use the character development of the main protagonists in the original series as a jumping off point. The director or screen play writers appeared to be a little hesitant to use the preexisting knowledge for fear of alienating movie goers who were coming to the characters for the first time. More work needed to be done to integrate the already existing pool of knowledge into the first movie without overwhelming or confusing new viewers (Dune had the opposite problem so there surely is a happy middle ground to be found if you put your mind to it).
Come on screen writers do some home work and earn your salaries. This is too good a series to let it possibly flop on the first of a possibly lucrative franchise!
