First off, I want to say that I loved this movie. It's got intense action sequences, a good plot,some humor, likable characters, fantastic special effects, hardly ever a dull moment,and oh yeah... it's a total babe-fest!!!

I can't speak for the fans of the series, but if you enjoy well-made sci-fi, then you'll love this cool little movie.
