Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of the original series, but I have no particular problem with Stephen Hopkins' adaptation; the effects and sets are well-done and it's a brainless amusement. The CGI space-monkey is an exception. Not only is the design of 'Blarp' absurdly comic, but the footage of it in the movie looks like a raw test render where they didn't have time to do a 'detail pass', and it's so far below the general standard of the movie as to really stand out…
