Saw this tonight. (My Cinema tends to lag behind.)
It is certainly a good popcorn flick... And they certainly dialed down the American-hoo-haa-brovado whilst dialing up the Sci-fi, which is great for a Sci-fi nerd like myself even if their were some giant gaping scientific holes.
Allot of scenes were playing homage to the original film which I thought was fantastic.
The story premise also sets itself up really well for a massive franchise, which has me excited to see where they will take it. Provided this film is a success.
But there were some glaring issues that I won't go into related to the story due to spoilers and such.
It also misses some of it's humor from the first film, which to me isn't an issue.
All in all, I would be surprised if this film doesn't do well. Having the old cast help transition to the new cast for future titles is good too, something that StarWars is also doing.
