This film I regard as a bit of a classic and I reviewed it quite recently on my blog. Not sure how I feel about this one.

Why would he get more work? Did they not see Picard?

The last season of Picard managed to turn things around. Yeah it was fan service, but it felt like tasteful fan service (mostly).

I think if he were to get top notch creature effects artists to do practical effects work on the alien world and save the CG stuff for wide shots and space stuff, I think people would respect that.

Have you not seen Enemy Mine?

Yeah, it's not like he could make it worse.

Picard was akin to Disco for me. Lots of kernals of goodness just tossed aside for the next shiney thing.
