Simplistic
Not sure why the original is considered a masterpiece if this is any indication.
Whilst there are some themes that could have been interesting if properly tackled, they were not.
The entire series was very broad-brush with absolutely no depth, and with every idea treated in an exceptionally simplistic fashion.
It's hard to work out if the author had no emotional complexity themselves, or if they were trying to create a science fiction story that would be accessible to children, but in doing so were forced to remove so much of the original story that all that was left was a husk.
The graphics and sound was well done, but that's really the only thing to recommend.
