It's not particularly bad. Netflix adjusts the definition in the first few seconds of play depending on the bandwidth availability, but you can always rewind and play the opening again.
As a test this morning I played the opening minutes of Iron Man 2: when the Universal logo appears it's definitely SD and quite poor, but by the time the Marvel logo appears (after the flickering comic book pages) it was sharp and HD. I don't have a 1080p TV so couldn't see any improvement after that but it was a great picture at 1080i.
