You have got to put aside the quality of the set and special effects and judge this on the dialogue and the overall ideas.
The absurdity of the colossal scope of destroying whole worlds to allow Humanity to colonise Star systems against the banality of the people doing it is just brilliant.
Balancing the human frailties of a bunch of idiots with such a quest is genuinely funny and also pokes fun at how important we think we are and avoids the well worn clichés of the super capable Star ship crew believing in the greatness and weightiness of their mission.
I think if we ever get out there it will be more like this! This is not perfect but as a character dialogue driven piece, as long as you have no expectations of anything approaching CGI its well worth a look.
