Yeah, my critique could be a little simplistic.

I must say though that I can't watch this now and I used to enjoy it when it was originally run. It has just not aged that well.

These days I really prefer my sci-fi to be dirty (alien) and hard (no beaming up and down in Lycra jump-suits with never a helmet in sight).

Moments like aero-braking around Jupiter in 2010 are more interesting to me than a sanitized space where humans are practically magical beings. I want my disbelief to be suspended and to watch something that surprises me with it's concepts, designs and engineering solutions.

Needless to say I am hard up for sci-fi to watch.

Edit:- They flushed the alien franchise down the toilet with the last installment.
