I guess this film is aimed at youth that had not been alive or even seen the original movies, and that's fair, however you would have to never have seen the original movies to consider this one anything but almost instantly forgettable.

Kids in space with some great CGI...I mean I guess it was decent enough but with some exception, the cast was really weak overall. It was hard to take them seriously, it almost seemed they tried to be taken seriously too much.

Tough kids with no innate toughness expressed or character acting that would convey real suffering on a mining world.

The sentimental robot rehashed for the nth time...

This franchise should have got something like the Dune treatment, given to an original director with a powerful artistic vision. Instead we got a play-it-safe body horror flick.

Where is the suspense? Where is the unknown? People are worried about a.i. Making movies - a.i. Is already making movies, it's just that humans that are doing the unoriginal never ending forgettable iterations.

Based on the silly preview flick in netflix I almost didn't watch it, but oh boy how glad I am I did! Binge watched in two days as a matter of fact.

The characters are loveable, the writing is pretty tight and the twists are solid enough not to get boring by the end of episode 8. The fights are ridiculous, so are the jokes (in a good way) and I found myself laughing out loud more than what I can remember watching anything in recent memory.

I was only really bothered a very few times the series writers decided to descend into very graphical Jackass territory which I thought was unnecessary.

Other than that I would wholeheartedly recommend this series to anyone looking for some good old fashioned fun, unless you are sensitive to very graphic nudity, sex, drugs, camels, penile torture etc.

Watched this (and the second part immediately the next day) with my girlfriend the other day and we both had an absolute blast.

The premise and acting, especially that of the main character, veer between outrageous and endearing.

An strikingly handsome man with a nose that could wrestle an entire company of soldiers moves seamlessly between performing feats of acrobatics and strength to charming ladies and impressing friends and subjects alike throughout the film's myriad scenes.

He does so with very little dialogue of his own and through striking flawless poses in whatever action he happens to be performing. And that hair!

As westerners, we initially experienced a film culture shock, but we soon found ourselves captivated by the escapades of the charming protagonist. By the time we got to the court intrigues of the second part we were completely mesmerised.

Amazing entertainment from India.
