It was kinda gooseberry fool. It's been done to death so often that it's the sci-fi equivalent of finding out it was all a dream
Well yeah it's been done before (the original did a similar thing) and I am not saying it was perfect, but the level of hate it gets is weird.
The original didn't really have a proper ending, but what it did have was nothing like the remake.
In the original they found an inhabited 1980s Earth with a human population descended from the 13th Colony that had forgotten its origins. Their intention was to start increasing the rate of technological advancement on Earth so that the fleet could then make itself known and integrate into their society.
That's basically the opposite of what happened in the remake ending where technology was abandoned altogether and they just settled down as practically cavemen.
