Nicely done. I was no huge fan of the series, but I watched my fill enough to feel leery that the canon might be treated badly when this movie came out (just as I worry about all the established canons that movie-makers pillage and destroy.

I was impressed with it in the end, but there were several plot points that were little bit too quick and a little bit too convenient to be a totally believable back-story. I love Lost, but the same 'hey look! mystery/shiny' technique was used to distract anyone who might question these plot points from further inquiry. You mention all the ones that bothered me and more I hadn't considered....
