It's good, but absolutely not the best of the bunch. I admit the story could have been better in this one. But it's still fairly true to the typical F&F recipe. I EXPECT utterly unrealistic action scenes. I EXPECT "cheap" puns. I EXPECT them to, most likely, not get hurt at all. This is how the series works! They know this, and even showed that, by having Tyrese Gibson's character being skeptical about never getting hurt! That was a fun idea, I think. But anyway.. Cool cars, cool guys, cool girls, lots of mindblowing action. I was entertained!

The people who rate movies 1.. I know we're all different, but come on.. Realistically, NO movie is as bad as a 1 out of 10 rating (unless it's like, an hour and a half with nothing but a black screen, or something..). A lot of people here who dislike something about a movie, refuse to put "thought" into at least giving a fair rating. No, they're just mad at the movie.. Boom. 1 star. Ridiculous.

It seems I am one of the few who was entertained by this movie. Agree, it's not pushing boundaries and it's not Oscar material, but it's certainly not a steaming pile of garbage either! It's got a decent story, it's got nice visual effects, it's got humor and the actors do a good job. It works.

People who actually think it's cringeworthy and instantly rate it 1 out of 10, must have unrealistically and RIDICULOUSLY high standards! But I do not believe that is the case. I believe most of those are just junk-ratings from people who refuse to think and evaluate it fairly.

You know the saying "If you have to do something wrong, do it right"? Well, this series feels like the opposite of that saying. I love space and sci-fi. But this one is horribly executed. Toe cringing.. Within the first 7 minutes, all they think the viewer needs to know has happened, and they're off into space. Come on, give us a story..! Those first 7 minutes should have been a whole episode in itself! It felt rushed.

The CGI effects are neither great nor good. They're decent. And decent is not good enough for something like this!

And man, the crew on the ship.. Are you kidding? Young people in their late teens, or mid-twenties at most. Put those in a high school drama instead (the way they talk and behave, actually fits a high school drama very well). You don't care for the characters. Besides, it wouldn't be believable to put young people on a critical mission like this. They would have sent more grown up people, who had more experience. It all just feels very wrong and not believable.

Come on, Netflix. Commit to quality, not quantity! Disappointed.
