I've heard generally positive things from people who saw it with no knowledge of the series, because it really is a self-contained story and a damn good one, but I would still recommend watching the series first, if you have time. Where these characters end up means more if you know where they've been.
A lot of critics have stated that this is what the Star Wars prequels should have been. Now, I disagree, because I loved those movies, often for the same reasons other people didn't, but it can certainly be said that this is a very different kind of sci-fi adventure movie, much more firmly rooted in reality and human drama, and with genuinely scary villains that are straight out of a nightmare.
The adrenaline rush of this movie lasted until well after it ended. I've never seen a smoother transition from small screen to big.

Agreed, agreed, agreed. However, MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW (highlight text):
