Kitschy overlong soap opera.
It's embarrassing to think that stories like this are mistaken for SciFi.
As for the "Sci" it only helps to drag a long a family story into - probably (who knows) - eternity and back.
Whenever the story gets stuck some miracle "scientific fact" appears to help it move along.
By the way, that Mathew M. actor ... who can he convince of being in a position to be chosen for all the stuff that role is capable of....
Of course you get the cliché robot and the cliché computer (à la HAL) and all the rest of it.
I guess Zimmer is a good composer but this constant barrage of holier- than-holy church music only now and then interspersed with kitsch is only letting you know how you should be on your knees in tears regarding this "universal story of love and family" ... I'm guessing this has to be one of the slogans to market this soap opera over x amount of galaxies ... or one ... who cares.
A few stars for the visual stuff but the content ... oh the content ...
