I thoroughly enjoyed it, but compared to the book it cut down on the science and engineering and amped up the emotion, humor, and action. But that fits the medium. There were a lot of things skipped over or not done in as much detail, like why the science officers were together in violation of protocol. I think the astrophoge drive looked nifty, but they explained the whole thing in under 30 seconds.
