I'm watching it now. It looks really, really good. The sets were extremely detailed. The VFX they did on Lightwave/Amiga Video Toaster holds up even today. I think having that hazy "ocean" filter really helped :p
Some scenes are upscaled (for example, at the end of Episode 1 Part 2), and the difference is jarring.
The one glaring thing is how low-resolution the (rear projected?) bridge screens and graphics were. Looks antiquated today, especially as I'm watching this on a 65" curved 4K TV :) BUT the graphics artists did a great job on the computer interfaces, since each computer terminal was showing believable information relevant to what's going on with the ship.
It basically looks like it was shot a few years ago, not 24 years ago...
