I was thinking this while watching, and a few people confirmed it: the editing in this movie is quite bad. It kinda feels like it was cobbled together from a random mess at times.
Original scifi space opera is officially dead in Hollywood. They just don't make any money.

Sometimes it would cut away mid-sentence to something unrelated and then back again (almost as if a line of dialogue was inserted later), or an action shot would cut in a very unsatisfying and awkward way to something else. It was just very clunky at times.

Going to see it tonight. I have the only purchased seats so far so I have a feeling it's going to be pretty empty, which would be rad.

I like crowded theaters where everyone is quiet except for when they laugh

I was sure I'd posted about this. Yeah, I loved this a lot. Actually worth the 3D, hits all the right beats, is perfectly obvious in a way that works. Minor issues here and there-- the weird/choppy editing is 100% an issue, and something I also noticed on Wonder Woman -- but all in all a super enjoyable film. All the money's on the screen and I can't wait to see it again when it comes out down here.
