As far as a pilot for a series, it as pretty cool. Probably one of the best sci-fi pilots I've seen. (And I did enjoy part 2 last night.) Like I said, if you came in with memories of the original, you may have some problems with it - I wouldn't know.

To help you judge how much to trust my opinion:
Dune 1/2: Read the books long ago. Liked the movies OK.
Riverworld: Never read the book, movie was pretty dumb.
Taken: Can't stand their alien abduction "reality" shows, and the connection made me avoid this one.

I'm sure there were more, but I don't remember.

Dune and Riverworld had a similar feel to them, that they were sort of mechanically acting out the script. No mood to them. Battlestar Galactica had an engaging mood. If they get a chance to grow into their roles, it could make a pretty good series.
